- Description
- In elisp-mode.el in GNU Emacs through 30.0.92, a user who chooses to invoke elisp-completion-at-point (for code completion) on untrusted Emacs Lisp source code can trigger unsafe Lisp macro expansion that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. (This unsafe expansion also occurs if a user chooses to enable on-the-fly diagnosis that byte compiles untrusted Emacs Lisp source code.)

Emacs reports CVE-2024-53920, allowing for arbitrary code execution of untrusted `.el` files. As an alternative, you might consider using an editor that doesn't have configuration files capable of running arbitrary code. ;-) https://t.co/fwsAJ8gkmv
