PyMuPDF is vulnerable to Path Traversal
65
Medium Risk
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Path Traversal because the embedded_get functionality does not properly sanitize the user-controlled path parameter. This allows an attacker to craft a path containing directory traversal sequences, potentially causing files to be written outside the intended working directory or to overwrite existing files. The issue is mitigated by introducing stricter path validation: by default, the command now refuses to write to an existing file or to any location outside the current directory. Writing outside these constraints is only possible when explicitly allowed via the -output option or the newly introduced -unsafe flag, making the security impact opt-in and explicit.
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
PyMuPDF is vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions 1.26.5 - 1.26.6.
