Machine-written summary

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

Versions of plone.app.contenttypes before 3.0.12, from 4.0.0 before 4.0.10, and from 5.0.0 before 5.0.1 are affected. An attacker who can create an Image or File with a very large filename can make Plone unresponsive, and the affected content is then hard to edit or delete. Upgrade to 3.0.12, 4.0.10, or 5.0.1, matching your Plone version. The source lists no workarounds.
