I came across this and thought I’d share. I’m sure the developers already know about this:
The gimp issue is linked in the article so of course they know.
Ok, I guess I earned a whack on the head for just reading off the phone.
and even more so … it is about editing ico icon files. I am sure you do that daily and almost exclusively so you are totally affected and in grave danger of being hacked because your favorite hobby is loading random ico files from the internet.

Still that is very important information to know. I have previously created ico files with GIMP but at least now I am aware not to download and edit any from the net. And yes, I have previously downloaded some of these files for various reasons, but now I probably won’t again.

Thank you - I hate clickbait titles. How hard would it be to put “ICO” instead of “this file type” in the headline?

Very easy - but then they wouldn’t earn clicks - I hate it too
