The pre-release dvipdfmx (20200116) seems to have a subtle issue. See:
https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/472
This code block in dvipdfmx.c (line 145) should be reviewed:
dvi_base = xbasename(dvi_filename);
len = strlen(dvi_base) - strlen(".dvi");
suffix = dvi_base + len;
(We cannot assert that the file name ends in .dvi.)
If you agree that this is a bug, it should be fixed asap (security).
