Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in node-qpdf (affected version not known) and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function encrypt of the component API. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a command injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-77. The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

All versions of the package node-qpdf are vulnerable to Command Injection such that the package-exported method encrypt() fails to sanitize its parameter input, which later flows into a sensitive command execution API. As a result, attackers may inject malicious commands once they can specify the input pdf file path.

The weakness was disclosed 10/14/2023 as 23. It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2023-26155 since 02/20/2023.
