[Urgent security issue] FreeImage arbitrary code execution vulnerability

main 2 I think is the most important to point out
- [CVE-2023-47994]
- [CVE-2023-47992]

both of these can run arbitrary code one of them being from the BMP plugin
so I am assuming a person could get a user to load a malicious BMP or a file with a malicious bpm inside of it

Free Image should either be forked and fixed asap or abandoned for a different library

active project i could find that use freeimage

Empieza revisando cómo forge usa FreeImage y si se cargan BMP u otros formatos afectados. Verifica los CVE indicados, especialmente CVE-2023-47992 y CVE-2023-47994, comparándolos con la versión de la dependencia, e identifica los puntos de entrada del proyecto para la carga de imágenes. Se considera terminado cuando exista una mitigación acordada y documentada—como una dependencia corregida o un reemplazo—en lugar de una decisión sin resolver entre hacer un fork y abandonar FreeImage.
