On behalf of the Zope developer community I am pleased to announce the releases 
of Zope 4.8.9 and 5.8.4.

These bugfix releases solve a few minor issues and contain a security fix. For 
the full list of changes see the change logs at 
https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/4.x/changes.html#id1 and 
https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html#id1

Installation instructions can be found at 
https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/4.x/INSTALL.html and 
https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL.html.

These releases contain a security fix for the RestrictedPython and 
AccessControl packages, which would allow an attacker with enough privileges to 
add or edit Zope objects containing code (DTML Methods and Documents, Script 
(Python) or Page Templates) to access Python objects outside of the Zope 
sandbox. Due to the high level of access privilege required - normally only 
administrator-level users are allowed to add or edit the affected Zope objects 
- the risk to Zope and Plone site maintainers is limited.
