We will wait for the maintainer to approve a CVE for this report and then proceed with one 👍
Sorry for the delay, I didn't get a notification about these comments. I've created a CVE for this and added Akshay as a collaborator.

@mouse - would you like me to assign a CVE to the other report or are you happy to do this via GitHub?
@jamieslome I'd be happy for you to do that. If it's preferable for me to do it in GitHub I can do that instead, just let me know, but otherwise I'll assume it's handled.
@mouse-reeve - CVE is all sorted on the other report 👍 It should be published shortly - nothing to do on your end :)
