Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution which allows attackers to bypass the -dsafe protection mechanism via output-def-lookup or output-def-scope 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.
