Input Validation Flaw in pdf-image npm Package by Vendor npm

CVE-2020-8132

What is CVE-2020-8132?

The pdf-image npm package, specifically versions up to and including 2.0.0, is vulnerable due to a lack of proper input validation. This flaw can be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the PDF file path using untrusted user input, thereby compromising the security of an application that utilizes this package. Developers should ensure the implementation of strict input validation methods to mitigate this risk effectively.
