1 low-priority security issue in bookworm low

There is 1 open security issue in bookworm.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2025-69194: (needs triaging) A security issue was discovered in GNU Wget2 when handling Metalink documents. The application fails to properly validate file paths provided in Metalink <file name> elements. An attacker can abuse this behavior to write files to unintended locations on the system. This can lead to data loss or potentially allow further compromise of the user’s environment.

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