A diminished triad with a minor seventh rather than a diminished one — half diminished, and not the same chord as dim7.

What is true of it

Cm7♭5 is C, E♭, G♭ and B♭ — 1, b3, b5 and b7 counted from C.

These are also the notes of E♭m6/C and D♯m6/C. Which name is right depends on what is underneath and what came before — the notes alone do not decide.
