Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Craft CMS (craftcms/cms) versions 4.0.0-RC1 through 4.16.16 and 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.20 are vulnerable to a Twig template injection that can lead to remote code execution. An attacker needs administrator access to the Control Panel with allowAdminChanges enabled, or a non-administrator account with access to the System Messages utility, and can then craft a malicious payload using the Twig map filter in Twig-accepting fields. Upgrade to 4.16.17 or 5.8.21, which contain the fix.
