- CVE-2026-42591High
Gotenberg is a stateless API for PDF files that, prior to version 8.32.0, passed uploaded documents directly to LibreOffice without inspecting their content. LibreOffice then fetched any embedded external URLs on its own, completely bypassing SSRF filters.
- CVE-2026-42596Critical
Gotenberg is an API for PDF files that prior to version 8.31.0 had a vulnerability in the downloadFrom and webhook features. The default deny-lists were bypassable, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access internal HTTP services.

Gotenberg is a PDF file API that, prior to version 8.31.0, did not validate keys in JSON objects sent to the /forms/pdfengines/metadata/write endpoint. Using a newline character in a JSON key allows for the injection of arbitrary ExifTool flags, leading to unauthenticated OS command execution.
- CVE-2026-40281Critical
Gotenberg is a stateless API for PDF files that in versions 8.30.1 and earlier improperly validates metadata values. These values can contain newline characters, allowing injection of arbitrary ExifTool pseudo-tags, leading to serious security vulnerabilities.
