Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in Fdawgs node-poppler up to 9.1.2/10.0.1. The impacted element is the function pdfInfo/pdfToText/pdfToCairo/pdfToPpm/pdfImages/pdfToHtml/pdfToPs/pdfFonts/pdfDetach/pdfAttach/pdfSeparate/pdfUnite of the file src/index.js of the component Argument Injection Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument file_path results in argument injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The patch is named db6e3f79d3beb20601be7e59669c39811ae3c330. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
AnalysisAI
Argument injection in Fdawgs node-poppler affects all ten PDF-processing wrapper functions (pdfToText, pdfToCairo, pdfToPpm, and others) in src/index.js across versions up to 9.1.2 and 10.0.1, allowing a remote attacker who can supply a hyphen-prefixed file_path value to inject arbitrary CLI options into the underlying poppler binary invocations. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects network-reachable exploitation with no authentication required at the library level, though real-world exploitability depends on whether the application exposes file_path selection to external input. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that attacker-controlled or user-supplied input reaches the file_path parameter of any affected node-poppler wrapper function without sanitization or path validation. … 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:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) scores 6.9 and reflects a worst-case scenario where user-supplied input directly reaches the file_path parameter without sanitization. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker submitting a PDF file through an application's upload endpoint names the file `-verbose` or supplies a path value such as `--allow-setuid` that begins with a hyphen; node-poppler passes this value as a CLI argument to the underlying poppler binary (e.g., pdftotext), which parses it as an option flag rather than a filename, altering the binary's behavior in a manner controlled by the attacker. Depending on which poppler utility is invoked and which flags are accepted, this could cause unintended file reads, option-flag side effects, or partial data disclosure. … |
| Remediation | Apply the upstream patch from GitHub commit db6e3f79d3beb20601be7e59669c39811ae3c330 (https://github.com/Fdawgs/node-poppler/commit/db6e3f79d3beb20601be7e59669c39811ae3c330) or track PR #842 (https://github.com/Fdawgs/node-poppler/pull/842). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
