A patch is available and should be applied by upgrading keeper-commander to version 17.1.15_1 or later. This update fixes the arbitrary file write and XML injection vulnerabilities. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
The fontTools varLib component in keeper-commander versions >=17.0.21 and <17.1.15_1 contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability via unsanitized filename handling and XML injection in .designspace files. This flaw allows attackers to write files to arbitrary filesystem locations, including overwriting configuration and application files, and inject malicious code that can lead to remote code execution without elevated privileges. The vulnerability is fixed in version 17.1.15_1.
