4 security issues in forky high

There are 4 open security issues in forky.

4 important issues:

CVE-2025-57106: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) up to 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in vtkGLTFDocumentLoader. The vulnerability occurs in the BufferDataExtractionWorker template function when processing GLTF accessor data.
CVE-2025-57107: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) through 9.5.0 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in vtkGLTFDocumentLoader. When processing specially crafted GLTF files, the copy constructor of Accessor objects fails to properly validate buffer boundaries before performing memory read operations.
CVE-2025-57108: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) through 9.5.0 contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability in vtkGLTFDocumentLoader. The vulnerability manifests during mesh object copy operations where vector members are accessed after the underlying memory has been freed, specifically when handling GLTF files with corrupted or invalid mesh reference structures.
CVE-2025-57109: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Heap Use-After-Free in vtkGLTFImporter::ImportActors. When processing GLTF files with invalid scene node references, the application accesses string members of mesh objects that have been previously freed during actor import operations.
