Machine-written summary

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

Concrete CMS versions 9.5.0 and below (Packagist concrete5/concrete5, affected before 9.5.1) contain an insecure deserialization flaw in the ExpressEntryList block controller. An attacker who already holds an administrator account with permission to add blocks to an area can use the REST API to bypass the existing protection and store a malicious serialized payload, which runs when an administrator views or edits that block, potentially giving full control of the server. Upgrade to version 9.5.1 or later.
