Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection. An exploitable command injection vulnerability exists in the gplotMakeOutput function of Leptonica 1.74.4.

An attacker can provide a malicious path as input to an application that passes attacker data to this function to trigger this vulnerability.
