AI-suggested

1. Upgrade Emacs to version 29.3 or later and Org Mode to version 9.6.23 or later as soon as official patches are released. 2. If you cannot patch yet, restrict local user access to systems running vulnerable Emacs versions to trusted personnel only. 3. Disable automatic enabling of Org Mode in Emacs configurations if feasible, or avoid opening untrusted Org files. 4. Employ application whitelisting and monitoring to detect unexpected Emacs behavior or Lisp code execution. 5. Use system-level access controls and sandboxing to limit the impact of potential code execution within Emacs. 6. Educate users about the risks of opening untrusted Org files and encourage safe handling practices. 7.

Description

In Emacs before 29.3, arbitrary Lisp code is evaluated as part of turning on Org mode. This affects Org Mode before 9.6.23.
