Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for fonttools.
CVE-2025-66034[0]:
| fontTools is a library for manipulating fonts, written in Python. In
| versions from 4.33.0 to before 4.60.2, the fonttools varLib (or
| python3 -m fontTools.varLib) script has an arbitrary file write
| vulnerability that leads to remote code execution when a malicious
| .designspace file is processed. The vulnerability affects the main()
| code path of fontTools.varLib, used by the fonttools varLib CLI and
| any code that invokes fontTools.varLib.main(). This issue has been
| patched in version 4.60.2.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
