Machine-written summary

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

Winter CMS package winter/wn-system-module, versions 1.2.7 up to but not including 1.2.13, has a Twig sandbox escape in its CMS SecurityPolicy that is an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-54149. An authenticated backend user holding the cms.manage_pages, cms.manage_layouts, or cms.manage_partials permission could use it to modify database records, run arbitrary SQL, obtain administrator credentials, or execute PHP code. Upgrade to version 1.2.13 and clear the compiled Twig template cache afterwards; if upgrading is not possible, limit those permissions to fully trusted administrators.
