libreoffice-convert vulnerable to path traversal / arbitrary file write
CVE-2026-54732 · GHSA-gmxc-r82q-347r
- Affected
- npm libreoffice-convert < 1.8.2
- Fixed in
- 1.8.2· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Impact options.fileName is used to build a filesystem path (path.join(tempDir.name, fileName)) and the caller-supplied document buffer is written there, but fileName is never reduced to a base name. A fileName containing "../" escapes the temporary directory, so a caller can write arbitrary content to an arbitrary path the process can write to (e.g. ~/.ssh/authorizedkeys, an /etc/cron.d entry, or a web root). Patches Version 1.8.2 uses path.basename on filename to make sure the temp directory can not be escaped. Workarounds Make sure you supply the filename yourself and don't have it user supplied or use path.basename on filename before using it in libreoffice-convert.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.8.2 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
