Summary
The jsPDF library prior to version 4.0.0 is vulnerable to local file inclusion and path traversal. An attacker can exploit the loadFile method, as well as addImage, html, and addFont, to read arbitrary files from the server's file system. The file contents are then embedded in generated PDF documents.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential leakage of sensitive data, such as configuration files, passwords, or customer data, which can be read and embedded in PDFs. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to confidential information.
Recommendation
Immediately update the jsPDF library to version 4.0.0 or later. If an update is not possible, use the --permission flag in Node.js (from version 20.0.0) or thoroughly sanitize all paths passed to the library methods.
Other vulnerabilities in jsPDF
See all- CVE-2026-31938Critical
The jsPDF library prior to version 4.2.1 is vulnerable to HTML injection (including scripts) via user control of the `options` argument in the `output` function. An attacker can supply malicious values that, when the PDF is generated and opened in the victim's browser, execute in the victim's browser context.
- CVE-2026-31898High
jsPDF library prior to version 4.2.1 is vulnerable to injection of arbitrary PDF objects, including JavaScript actions, via the `color` parameter of the `createAnnotation` method. An attacker can exploit this to execute malicious code when the PDF is opened.
- CVE-2026-25940High
The jsPDF library prior to version 4.2.0 contains a vulnerability that allows injection of arbitrary PDF objects, including JavaScript actions, through control of Acroform module properties and methods. The attack can be triggered when the victim hovers over a radio option.
- CVE-2026-25755High
The jsPDF library prior to version 4.2.0 is vulnerable to injection of arbitrary PDF objects via user-controlled argument of the `addJS` method. An attacker can escape JavaScript string delimiters to alter document structure or execute malicious actions.
- CVE-2026-25535High
The jsPDF library prior to version 4.2.0 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack via user control of the first argument of the `addImage` method. Passing a malicious GIF file with large width/height headers causes excessive memory allocation and denial of service. The `html` method is also affected.
- CVE-2026-24737High
The jsPDF library prior to version 4.1.0 has a vulnerability that allows injection of arbitrary PDF objects, including JavaScript actions, through user control of Acroform module properties and methods. Attackers can exploit unsanitized input in methods such as AcroformChoiceField.addOption, AcroformChoiceField.setOptions, AcroFormCheckBox.appearanceState, and AcroFormRadioButton.appearanceState.
Original NVD description (English source)
jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to version 4.0.0, user control of the first argument of the loadFile method in the node.js build allows local file inclusion/path traversal. If given the possibility to pass unsanitized paths to the loadFile method, a user can retrieve file contents of arbitrary files in the local file system the node process is running in. The file contents are included verbatim in the generated PDFs. Other affected methods are `addImage`, `html`, and `addFont`. Only the node.js builds of the library are affected, namely the `dist/jspdf.node.js` and `dist/jspdf.node.min.js` files. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected]. This version restricts file system access per default. This semver-major update does not introduce other breaking changes. Some workarounds areavailable. With recent node versions, jsPDF recommends using the `--permission` flag in production. The feature was introduced experimentally in v20.0.0 and is stable since v22.13.0/v23.5.0/v24.0.0. For older node versions, sanitize user-provided paths before passing them to jsPDF.
