concrete5 (Concrete CMS) 8.5.5 pacthes to fix 403 error on Page Type Default Editing Page

By concrete5 Japan, Inc.

This is the patch to fix 403 error of default page type block editing page

When you tried to visit Page Type's Default Output editing page (even if you are logged in as super-admin), you get 403 Page Forbidden Error.

This may have happened due to mishanding sessions.

This is probably caused by both Concrete CMS and server side.
