A Cross-Frame Scripting vulnerability has been found on Plone CMS affecting version below 6.0.5. An attacker could store a malicious URL to be opened by an administrator and execute a malicios iframe element.
Impact Plone is vulnerable to reflected cross site scripting and open redirect when an attacker can get a compromised version of the imageviewfullscreen page in a cache, for example in Varnish. The technique is known as cache poisoning. Any later visitor can get redirected when clicking on a link on this page. Usually only anonymous users are affected, but this depends on your cache settings.
Patches A new version 3.0.6 of Products.ATContentTypes has been released with a fix. This version works on Plone 5.2 (Python 2 only) and will be included in Plone 5.2.7.
Note that the Products.CMFPlone package has the same problem in the 4.3 series. plone.app.contenttypes has the same problem in all versions, see advisory. For all unpatched versions of the three packages, you can use the following workaround.
Workaround Make sure the imageviewfullscreen page is not stored in the cache. In Plone:
Login as Manager and go to Site Setup. Go to the 'Caching' control panel. If this does not exist, or 'Enable caching' is not checked, you should normally not be vulnerable. Click on the tab 'Caching operations'. Under 'Legacy template mappings' locate the ruleset 'Content item view'. From the last column ('Templates') remove 'imageviewfullscreen'. Click on Save.
Reporter This vulnerability was responsibly disclosed to the Plone Security Team by Gustav Hansen, F-Secure Consulting. Thank you!

Impact There is a stored cross site scripting vulnerability for SVG images. A security hotfix from 2021 already partially fixed this, by making sure SVG images are always downloaded instead of shown inline. But the same problem still exists for scales of SVG images.
Note that an image tag with an SVG image as source is not vulnerable, even when the SVG image contains malicious code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first need to upload an image, and then trick a user into following a specially crafted link.
All versions of plone.namedfile are impacted.
Patches Patches will be released in various plone.namedfile releases:
5.6.1 (for Plone 5.2) 6.0.3 (for Plone 6.0.0-6.0.4) 6.1.3 (for Plone 6.0.5-6.0.6) 6.2.1 (for Plone 6.0.7)
Workarounds There is no workaround.
An issue in Plone CMS allows attacker to access sensitive information via the RSS feed protlet.
Due to incorrect access control in Plone version v6.0.9, remote attackers can view and list all files hosted on the website via sending a crafted request.
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Plone CMS 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 allow remote attackers to (1) add arbitrary accounts via the joinform page and (2) change the privileges of arbitrary groups via the prefsgroupsoverview page.
It was reported [1] that Plone suffers from a vulnerability that can be exploited to bypass certain security restrictions. This is due to a vulnerable bundled version of Zope.
Plone 3.x users that backported the fix for CVE-2011-0720 (PloneHotfix20110720) are affected due to the vulnerability being inadvertently backported via the hotfix.
A new hotfix (20110622) is available [2] to correct the flaw.

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.

Note: The vendor announced the final version of the advisory and the patch to be available at 2011-10-04 15:00 UTC at the following location: [3] http://plone.org/products/plone/security/advisories/20110928
The CMFEditions component 2.x in Plone 4.0.x through 4.0.9, 4.1, and 4.2 through 4.2a2 does not prevent the KwAsAttributes classes from being publishable, which allows remote attackers to access sub-objects via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-3587.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Plone CMS 5.2.3 exists in site-controlpanel via the "form.widgets.sitetitle" parameter.
Impact Most Python modules are not available for using in TAL expressions that you can add through-the-web, for example in Zope Page Templates. This restriction avoids file system access, for example via the 'os' module. But some of the untrusted modules are available indirectly through Python modules that are available for direct use.
By default, you need to have the Manager role to add or edit Zope Page Templates through the web. Only sites that allow untrusted users to add/edit Zope Page Templates through the web are at risk.
Patches The problem has been fixed in Zope 5.2 and 4.6.
Workarounds A site administrator can restrict adding/editing Zope Page Templates through the web using the standard Zope user/role permission mechanisms. Untrusted users should not be assigned the Zope Manager role and adding/editing Zope Page Templates through the web should be restricted to trusted users only.

Impact What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
Information disclosure vulnerability - everyone can list the names of roles defined in the ZODB Role Manager plugin if the site uses this plugin.
Patches Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
The problem has been fixed in version 2.6.0. Depending on how you have installed Products.PluggableAuthService, you should change the buildout version pin to 2.6.0 and re-run the buildout, or if you used pip simply do pip install "Products.PluggableAuthService>=2.6.0"
Workarounds Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
There is no workaround. Users are encouraged to upgrade.

Plone through 5.2.4 allows stored XSS attacks (by a Contributor) by uploading an SVG or HTML document.
Plone through 5.2.4 allows XSS via the inlinediff methods in Products.CMFDiffTool.
By linking to a specific url in Plone 2.5-5.1rc1 with a parameter, an attacker could send you to his own website. On its own this is not so bad: the attacker could more easily link directly to his own website instead. But in combination with another attack, you could be sent to the Plone login form and login, then get redirected to the specific url, and then get a second redirect to the attacker website.
In Plone 5.0 through 5.2.4, Editors are vulnerable to XSS in the folder contents view, if a Contributor has created a folder with a SCRIPT tag in the description field.
Zope Products.CMFCore before 2.5.1 and Products.PluggableAuthService before 2.6.2, as used in Plone through 5.2.4 and other products, allow Reflected XSS.
Plone through 5.2.4 allows remote authenticated managers to perform disk I/O via crafted keyword arguments to the ReStructuredText transform in a Python script.
Plone through 5.2.4 allows remote authenticated managers to conduct SSRF attacks via an event ical URL, to read one line of a file.
Plone though 5.2.4 allows SSRF via the lxml parser. This affects Diazo themes, Dexterity TTW schemas, and modeleditors in plone.app.theming, plone.app.dexterity, and plone.supermodel.
Plone through 5.2.4 allows XSS via a full name that is mishandled during rendering of the ownership tab of a content item.
