Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Anki's aqt package before 25.9.4 lets user scripts inside iframes in the editor reach the internal Anki API, and some API methods can read arbitrary files the Anki process can access. An attacker needs a user to import an untrusted .apkg file and view a card with an embedded iframe, after which the attacker can read files and send their contents over the network. Upgrade aqt to 25.9.4, which contains the fix.
