CVE-2026-49452

WeasyPrint prior to 70.0 passes fetched image bytes from HTML img URLs, CSS image values, SVG image references, and data URIs to Pillow's generic image dispatcher without excluding EPS or PostScript formats. On hosts with Ghostscript installed, Pillow EpsImagePlugin invokes the interpreter for attacker-controlled PostScript, which can lead to remote code execution when the installed Ghostscript version has a usable sandbox bypass.

In WeasyPrint prior to 70.0, server-side applications that configure a restrictive url_fetcher and pass attacker-influenced values to HTML.write_pdf() can have the restriction bypassed through the xmp_metadata or stylesheets options. In weasyprint/pdf/init.py, xmp_metadata calls select_source() without the document url_fetcher, allowing an accessible local file to be read and embedded verbatim in the output PDF. In weasyprint/document.py, stylesheets constructs CSS() without the document url_fetcher, allowing local or internal resource loading and propagating the permissive fetcher through nested CSS imports and url() references. The stylesheets channel applies fetched resources but does not by itself disclose stylesheet comments verbatim.

In WeasyPrint prior to version 68.0, a server-side request forgery (SSRF) protection bypass exists in the default `url_fetcher`. Even if a developer implements a custom `url_fetcher` to block access to internal resources, an attacker can bypass this protection because the underlying `urllib` library automatically follows HTTP redirects without re-validating the new destination against the security policy.
