2 of the 3 have now been disclosed:

(CVE-2025-7424) libxslt: Type confusion in xmlNode.psvi between stylesheet and source nodes
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/issues/139
https://project-zero.issues.chromium.org/issues/409761909

(CVE-2025-7425) libxslt: heap-use-after-free in xmlFreeID caused by `atype` corruption
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/issues/140
https://project-zero.issues.chromium.org/issues/410569369

Engineers from Apple & Google have proposed patches in the GNOME gitlab issues,
but neither has had a fix applied to the git repo since there is currently no
maintainer for libxslt.
