Guilhem Moulin noticed that the fix in pandoc 3.1.4 to CVE-2023-35936 was incomplete.
An attacker could get around it by double-encoding the malicious extension to create
or override arbitrary files.

This vulnerability is fixed in the main branch of the repository:

I will put out a new release soon.
