    Debian Bug     : 1144349

    Three vulnerabilities were discovered in FreeCAD, an open-source
    multiplatform 3D parametric modeler, which could result in arbitrary
    code execution, arbitrary file writes, and the disclosure of local files
    or triggering of remote network requests.

    CVE-2026-34789

        When restoring a crafted FCStd document, FreeCAD passed an
        attacker-controlled module name to the Python interpreter and thereby
        executed code contained in the imported module. An attacker could
        execute arbitrary Python code with the privileges of the FreeCAD user.

    CVE-2026-73234

        When restoring a crafted FCStd document, FreeCAD used
        attacker-controlled file paths without properly restricting directory
        traversal or absolute paths. An attacker could write arbitrary
        content to files accessible to the FreeCAD user, potentially
        allowing persistence or code execution.

    CVE-2026-73235

        When restoring a crafted FCStd document, FreeCAD processed XML external
        entities without disabling external entity or DTD resolution. An
        attacker could read local files or cause requests to be made to
        remote servers.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    0.20.2+dfsg1-4+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your freecad packages.
