Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The silverstripe/userforms package is vulnerable to remote code execution through the email subject field in the CMS, affecting versions before 6.4.9, from 7.0.0 before 7.0.7, and from 7.1.0 before 7.1.1. The source does not say what privileges an attacker needs or how the payload is delivered, so the exact preconditions are unclear. Upgrade to version 6.4.9, 7.0.7, or 7.1.1, depending on the release line in use.
