# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-56520 Advisory: tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf-font mishandles fonts IDs: CVE-2024-56520, GHSA-grhh-r4jj-8jh7 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-56520 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:34 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf-font 2.6.4. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf-font: affected < 2.6.4; fixed in 2.6.4 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf-font: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf-font. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-grhh-r4jj-8jh7 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-grhh-r4jj-8jh7 lists affected ranges: Packagist tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf-font >=0 <2.6.4) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
