Official description
Silverstripe UserForms provides a visual form builder for the Silverstripe CMS. From 6.0.0 until 6.4.9, 7.0.7, and 7.1.1, the userform email recipient subject field in the CMS accepts a specially crafted payload that can be interpreted as executable server-side code. An authenticated CMS user with permission to configure a UserForms email recipient can use the subject field to run arbitrary code on the server, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This issue is fixed in versions 6.4.9, 7.0.7, and 7.1.1.
