Machine-written summary

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

Kirby (getkirby/cms) versions before 4.9.0 and from 5.0.0 before 5.4.0 are affected. The Xml::value() method wrongly let values pass through unescaped when they contained a CDATA block alongside other XML markup, so an attacker who controls input to Xml::create(), Xml::tag(), Xml::value() or the Xml data handler can inject structure into generated XML. Upgrade to Kirby 4.9.0, 5.4.0 or a later version.
