Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pdf-image versions <= 2.0.0

Description The issue is related to a lack of input validation in the pdf-image npm package, which may allow an attacker to run arbitrary code if the PDF file path is constructed based on untrusted user input.

Recommendations For versions <= 2.0.0, update to a version greater than 2.0.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider validating and sanitizing all user input used to construct PDF file paths to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to the pdf-image package to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is applied.
