Plone upstream has published a pre-announcement about a security flaw, present in Zope v2.12.x and Zope v2.13.x, which could allow execution of arbitrary code by anonymous users. An authenticated attacker could provide a specially-crafted web page, which once visited by an unsuspecting Zope user would lead to arbitrary commands execution with the privileges of the Zope/Plone service.
