Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception in the preview component when processing input with an extra command line argument such as -pp. An attacker can cause the application to crash by providing crafted input that triggers an integer overflow, leading to the creation of an excessively large std::vector.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the application is executed with the additional command line argument that activates the preview functionality.
