There is 1 open security issue in bookworm.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2024-25711: (needs triaging) diffoscope before 256 allows directory traversal via an embedded filename in a GPG file. Contents of any file, such as ../.ssh/id_rsa, may be disclosed to an attacker. This occurs because the value of the gpg --use-embedded-filenames option is trusted.

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.
