CVE-2020-17354
Last modified
CVE-2020-17354 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.6/10 on the CVSS scale. LilyPond before 2.24 allows attackers to bypass the -dsafe protection mechanism via output-def-lookup or output-def-scope, as demonstrated by dangerous Scheme code in a .ly file that causes arbitrary code execution during conversion to a different file format. NOTE: in 2.24 and later versions, safe mode is removed, and the product no longer tries to block code execution when external files are used.. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
