Network-reachable export endpoint requires a low-privilege authenticated account (PR:L); no integrity or availability impact; confidentiality is high due to arbitrary local file read.
Primary rating from Vendor (CIRCL).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Affected versions of Flowintel allow attacker-controlled note content to be processed by Pandoc and XeLaTeX during PDF export in a way that can cause local files on the Flowintel server to be read and incorporated into the generated export.
AnalysisAI
Flowintel's PDF export pipeline passes attacker-controlled note content to Pandoc with the raw_tex extension enabled, allowing authenticated users to inject XeLaTeX directives such as \input{} or \verbatiminput{} that cause the server to read arbitrary local files and embed their contents into the exported PDF. Any authenticated user with note-editing access can exploit this to exfiltrate sensitive server-side files - credentials, keys, or intelligence data stored on the host. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid Flowintel account with permission to create or edit notes and invoke the PDF export function. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) scores 7.1, indicating a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring only a low-privilege account with no user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated Flowintel analyst creates or edits a note containing a raw LaTeX directive such as \verbatiminput{/etc/shadow} or \input{/app/config/secrets.py}. When PDF export is triggered for that note, Pandoc passes the raw LaTeX through to XeLaTeX, which reads the referenced file and renders its contents into the PDF. … |
| Remediation | Update Flowintel to a revision incorporating both patch commits 16f618fa36a72c4c5ca3ff0abf7dd67455318ef1 and 2ba9700a5473223639575050bda607f498add7c6 from https://github.com/flowintel/flowintel; operators running from source should pull the patched main branch, while those awaiting a tagged release should monitor the upstream repository. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
