Package : org-mode Version : 9.1.14+dfsg-3+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-28617 Debian Bug : 1033341

It was discovered that there was a potential code injection vulnerability in org-mode, a popular add-on for the Emacs text editor.

Attackers could have executed arbitrary shell commands via a filename (or directory name) that contained shell metacharacters.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 9.1.14+dfsg-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your org-mode packages.
