Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

October CMS's system package (october/system) versions below 3.7.17, and 4.0.0 through 4.2.22, deserialize widget session data without restricting which classes can be created. Only installations with `cms.safe_mode` enabled are affected. An attacker would need a backend account with CMS markup editing access and a usable PHP gadget chain in the installed dependencies to run arbitrary PHP code as the web server user. Upgrade to 3.7.17 or 4.2.23.
