Plone 4.x through 4.3.11 and 5.x through 5.0.6 allow remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism and obtain sensitive information by leveraging the Python string format method.
Weakness
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
