## Overview

### Impact
When creating an Image or File with a very large filename, 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.contenttypes`.

* On Plone 6.2, upgrade to `plone.app.contenttypes ` 5.0.1.
* On Plone 6.1, upgrade to `plone.app.contenttypes ` 4.0.10.
* On Plone 6.0, upgrade to `plone.app.contenttypes ` 3.0.12

Another part of this problem has been patched in `plone.app.dexterity`. See [this advisory](https://github.com/plone/plone.app.dexterity/security/advisories/GHSA-5426-92w4-wvhv).

### Workarounds
There are no known workarounds.
