## Description

Concrete CMS below version 9.4.8 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution by stored PHP object injection into the Express Entry List block via the columns parameter. An authenticated administrator can store attacker-controlled serialized data in block configuration fields that are later passed to unserialize() without class restrictions or integrity checks. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 8.9 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H.
