I checked the current tree and this appears to have been addressed already.

The reported code path was the deprecated wxContractPath() implementation in src/common/filefn.cpp, using the shared wxFileFunctionsBuffer. That whole v2.8 compatibility block was removed in commit 5e2da5a1066332c86f6c31223e9733337b438163 ("Get rid of v2.8 code"), including the wxContractPath() declaration in include/wx/filefn.h and its implementation in src/common/filefn.cpp.

Current checks:

rg wxContractPath finds only the old changelog mention.
[filefn] tests pass.
wxFileName::Normalize and wxFileName::Replace tests pass.

So the buffer-overflow warning no longer applies to the current code.
