I cannot reach the maintainer petersen (see mail below): The package "pandoc" remains at 3.1.3 in Fedora, but pandoc is already at 3.1.11.1. Among the updates since 3.1.3, there have been two security-critical (including the medium CVE-2023-35936. Security fixes are in 3.1.4 & 3.1.6).
The actual risk is limited, but these should be updated
nevertheless.
Does anyone know how to reach him by other means?
Regards,
Chris

Hi petersen,
I am reaching out because of the package "pandoc", which you maintain.
I have seen that the package is still at version 3.1.3 [1] when I tried to install it with dnf, whereas the current version is 3.1.11.1 [2]: is this intended or an accident?
It has to be noted that the updates that have been added in the meantime contain fixes for security vulnerabilities (at least CVE-2023-35936; I have just roughly skimmed the changelogs). So at the moment, it seems the Fedora build can be exploited by attackers in some circumstances [3] [4] because it is still at 3.1.3.
Regards & thanks for maintaining,
Chris
