GHSA-8737-h7fg-9xgj PUBLISHED CVSS 9.800000190734863 CRITICAL

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published November 27, 2024

In elisp-mode.el in GNU Emacs through 30.0.92, a user who chooses to invoke elisp-completion-at-point (for code completion) on untrusted Emacs Lisp source code can trigger unsafe Lisp macro expansion that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. (This unsafe expansion also occurs if a user chooses to enable on-the-fly diagnosis that byte compiles untrusted Emacs Lisp source code.)
