  - LilyPond before 2.24 allows attackers to bypass the -dsafe protection mechanism via output-def-lookup or
    output-def-scope, as demonstrated by dangerous Scheme code in a .ly file that causes arbitrary code
    execution during conversion to a different file format. NOTE: in 2.24 and later versions, safe mode is
    removed, and the product no longer tries to block code execution when external files are used.
