> Kaixuan Li showed a flaw in the commit for CVE-2026-23907 and a solution.
> The flaw is that if we have writing rights on {{/home/Jona}} then the
> software could create a malicious PDF that extracts to any users that start
> with {{/home/Jon}} e.g. {{/home/Jonathan}} (if we'd have writing rights
> there).
