CVE-2020-17354 describes a bypass in LilyPond versions prior to 2.24, allowing attackers to circumvent the -dsafe protection mechanism. This vulnerability, rated 8.6 HIGH, enables arbitrary code execution through dangerous Scheme code embedded in .ly files during file format conversion, with an attack vector requiring user interaction (UI:R) and local access (AV:L). While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the high CVSS score indicates a severe potential impact if exploited.
