# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-63705

Advisory: node-ts-ocr is vulnerable to OS Command Injection via the invokeImageOcr function in src/index.js
IDs: CVE-2025-63705, GHSA-8jh2-3mw6-6pfm
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-63705 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:51 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm node-ts-ocr: affected >= 1.0.15, <= 1.0.15

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls node-ts-ocr --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on node-ts-ocr.
- 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.
