Machine-written summary

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

Craft CMS (craftcms/cms) versions from 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.17.0-beta.1, and from 5.8.7 before 5.9.0-beta.1, are vulnerable. An authenticated administrator, or a user with access to the System Messages utility, can use a Twig server-side template injection through the create() function, combined with the bundled Symfony Process component, to run arbitrary shell commands on the server. Upgrade to 4.17.0-beta.1 or 5.9.0-beta.1, or later.
