It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1378 advisory.

    FontForge SFD File Parsing Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of FontForge. User interaction is     required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious     file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SFD files. The issue results from the lack of validating     the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this     vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-CAN-28564. (CVE-2025-15269)

    FontForge SFD File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This     vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of FontForge.
    User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page     or open a malicious file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SFD files. The issue results from the lack of proper     validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can     leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-CAN-28543.
    (CVE-2025-15275)

    FontForge GUtils BMP File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This     vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of FontForge.
    User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page     or open a malicious file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of pixels within BMP files. The issue results from the lack of     proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An     attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-     CAN-27517. (CVE-2025-15279)
