Did you have a question?

It may be fixed upstream, but Arch is still on a previous version due to all of the current Audacity packaging issues.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: CVE-2020-11867 - Audacity

Audacity saves temporary files to /var/tmp/audacity-$USER by default. After Audacity creates the temporary directory, it sets its permissions to 755. Any user on the system can read and play the temporary audio .au files located there.
