**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Pandoc versions 1.13 through 3.1.4 **Description** Pandoc is susceptible to an arbitrary file write vulnerability, which can be triggered by providing a specially crafted image element in the input when generating files using the `--extract-media` option or outputting to PDF format. This vulnerability allows an attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system, depending on the privileges of the process running pandoc. It only affects systems that pass untrusted user input to pandoc and allow pandoc to be used to produce a PDF or with the `--extract-media` option. **Recommendations** For versions 1.13 through 3.1.4, update to version 3.1.4 to patch the vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider auditing the pandoc command and disallowing PDF output and the `--extract-media` option until the issue is resolved.
