"details": "Passing nested lists as coordinates to APIs that accept coordinates such as `ImagePath.Path`, `ImageDraw.ImageDraw.polygon` and `ImageDraw.ImageDraw.line` could cause a heap buffer overflow, as nested lists were recursively unpacked beyond the allocated buffer. Coordinate lists are now validated to contain exactly two numeric coordinates. This was introduced in Pillow 11.2.1.",
