### Impact When creating content with a very large title or description field, Plone can become unresponsive. Even if the content loads, it can be hard to edit or delete, because the UI is unwieldy. ### Patches The problem has been patched in `plone.app.dexterity`. * On Plone 6.2, upgrade to `plone.app.dexterity` 5.0.1. * On Plone 6.1, upgrade to `plone.app.dexterity` 4.1.3. * On Plone 6.0, upgrade to `plone.app.dexterity` 3.2.3. Another part of this problem has been patched in `plone.app.contenttypes`. See this advisory. ### Workarounds There are no known workarounds. This problem was responsibly reported by Aldin Visnjic to the Plone/Zope Security Team. Thank you!

03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
- NVD lastModified does not establish freshness of every associated CPE record.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
