Severity ?
8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
CWE
  • CWE-116 - Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output
Summary
jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to version 4.2.1, user control of arguments of the `createAnnotation` method allows users to inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions. If given the possibility to pass unsanitized input to the following method, a user can inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions, which might trigger when the PDF is opened or interacted with the `createAnnotation`: `color` parameter. The vulnerability has been fixed in jsPDF@4.2.1. As a workaround, sanitize user input before passing it to the vulnerable API members.

This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary PDF objects, including JavaScript actions, into a generated PDF. This can occur if unsanitized user input is provided to the `createAnnotation` method\u0027s `color` parameter. When a user opens or interacts with the specially crafted PDF, these injected actions may execute, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or sensitive information disclosure.\"}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-94\", \"description\": \"Improper Control of Generation of Code (\u0027Code Injection\u0027)\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"0b0ca135-0b70-47e7-9f44-1890c2a1c46c\", \"shortName\": \"redhat-SADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-08-24T12:06:54.765Z\"}}, {\"title\": \"CISA ADP Vulnrichment\", \"metrics\": [{\"other\": {\"type\": \"ssvc\", \"content\": {\"id\": \"CVE-2026-31898\", \"role\": \"CISA Coordinator\", \"options\": [{\"Exploitation\": \"none\"}, {\"Automatable\": \"no\"}, {\"Technical Impact\": \"total\"}], \"version\": \"2.0.3\", \"timestamp\": \"2026-03-18T14:00:36.960715Z\"}}}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\", \"shortName\": \"CISA-ADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2026-03-18T14:00:40.248Z\"}}], \"cna\": {\"title\": \"jsPDF has a PDF Object Injection via FreeText color\", \"source\": {\"advisory\": \"GHSA-7x6v-j9x4-qf24\", \"discovery\": \"UNKNOWN\"}, \"metrics\": [{\"cvssV3_1\": {\"scope\": \"UNCHANGED\", \"version\": \"3.1\", \"baseScore\": 8.1, \"attackVector\": \"NETWORK\", \"baseSeverity\": \"HIGH\", \"vectorString\": \"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N\", \"integrityImpact\": \"HIGH\", \"userInteraction\": \"REQUIRED\", \"attackComplexity\": \"LOW\", \"availabilityImpact\": \"NONE\", \"privilegesRequired\": \"NONE\", \"confidentialityImpact\": \"HIGH\"}}], \"affected\": [{\"vendor\": \"parallax\", \"product\": \"jsPDF\", \"versions\": [{\"status\": \"affected\", \"version\": \"\u003c 4.2.1\"}]}], \"references\": [{\"url\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/security/advisories/GHSA-7x6v-j9x4-qf24\", \"name\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/security/advisories/GHSA-7x6v-j9x4-qf24\", \"tags\": [\"x_refsource_CONFIRM\"]}, {\"url\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/commit/4155c4819d5eca284168e51e0e1e81126b4f14b8\", \"name\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/commit/4155c4819d5eca284168e51e0e1e81126b4f14b8\", \"tags\": [\"x_refsource_MISC\"]}, {\"url\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/blob/b1607a9391d4cd65ea7ade25998aea8345ae1be3/src/modules/annotations.js#L193-L208\", \"name\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/blob/b1607a9391d4cd65ea7ade25998aea8345ae1be3/src/modules/annotations.js#L193-L208\", \"tags\": [\"x_refsource_MISC\"]}, {\"url\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/releases/tag/v4.2.1\", \"name\": \"https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF/releases/tag/v4.2.1\", \"tags\": [\"x_refsource_MISC\"]}], \"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"value\": \"jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript.
