GHSA-p5xg-68wr-hm3m
jsPDF has a PDF Injection in AcroForm module allows Arbitrary JavaScript Execution (RadioButton.createOption and "AS" property)
Quick fix
GHSA-p5xg-68wr-hm3m — jspdf: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install jspdf@4.2.0Details
### Impact
User control of properties and methods of the Acroform module allows users to inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions.
If given the possibility to pass unsanitized input to the following property, a user can inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions, which are executed when the victim hovers over the radio option.
* `AcroformChildClass.appearanceState`
Example attack vector:
```js import { jsPDF } from "jspdf" const doc = new jsPDF();
const group = new doc.AcroFormRadioButton(); group.x = 10; group.y = 10; group.width = 20; group.height = 10; doc.addField(group);
const child = group.createOption("opt1"); child.x = 10; child.y = 10; child.width = 20; child.height = 10; child.appearanceState = "Off /AA << /E << /S /JavaScript /JS (app.alert('XSS')) >> >>";
doc.save("test.pdf"); ```
### Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed in jsPDF@4.2.0.
### Workarounds Sanitize user input before passing it to the vulnerable API members.
