Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to unauthorized file deletion due to an Inverted CSRF token check in the DeleteFile controller. The code throws an error when the token IS valid and proceeds with file deletion when the token is invalid or missing. This effectively disables CSRF protection for the file deletion endpoint, allowing cross-site request forgery attacks against users who have permission to edit conversation messages. The Concrete CMS security team thanks Tristan Mandani for reporting this issue.
Update concrete5/concrete5 to 9.5.1 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in composer. A low vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
