Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Versions of october/cms from 1.0.319 before 1.0.466 are affected. An authenticated backend user with the cms.manage_assets permission can upload files of whitelisted types (such as images, fonts, CSS, JavaScript, and XML) to any directory on the server. Upgrade to october/cms 1.0.466 or later; if that is not possible, the source gives a manual patch as a workaround.
