Machine-written summary

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

Concrete CMS concrete5/concrete5 versions below 9.5.1 (fixed in 9.5.1) fail to sanitize path traversal sequences in a page type composer form layout field when saving. An attacker who is an authenticated administrator with composer form editing rights can use this to include arbitrary readable files on the server, and combined with weak upload extension checks, this can lead to remote code execution. Upgrade to concrete5/concrete5 version 9.5.1 or later.
