Machine-written summary

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

The plone-app-portlets package is vulnerable in versions 5.0.0 to before 5.0.8, 6.0.0 to before 6.0.4, and 7.0.0 to before 7.0.2. An authenticated user who can add or edit a Classic portlet, which regular users can do on their personal dashboard by default, can supply a crafted value that is evaluated as code on the server, giving them code execution in the Plone process. Upgrade to 5.0.8, 6.0.4, or 7.0.2 depending on your release line.
