CVE-2026-40893 | BDVDB-2026-333330 Detail

gotenberggotenberg

Description#

Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.31.0, Gotenberg only checks if the tag is exactly FileName, so System:FileName slips right through and ExifTool happily renames the file. This allows remote attackers to move, rename, and change permissions for arbitrary files. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.31.0.

Impact#

Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact none, integrity impact high, availability impact low. Attack vector: network.

Weaknesses#

CWE-73 External Control of File Name or Path
CWE-184 Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs
