CVE-2018-3770 · GHSA-p7c9-jqhq-vr3v
- Affected
- npm markdown-pdf < 9.0.0
- Fixed in
- 9.0.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of markdown-pdf prior to 9.0.0 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. The package fails to sanitize HTML code in markdown files. If markdown files with malicious HTML are converted to PDF, the resulting PDF file will execute any JavaScript code in the original markdown file. This may allow attackers to execute Remote Code. Recommendation Upgrade to version 9.0.0 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 9.0.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
