NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-dompdf package and not the php-dompdf package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Dompdf is an HTML to PDF converter written in php. Due to the difference in the attribute parser of Dompdf and php-svg-lib, an attacker can still call arbitrary URLs with arbitrary protocols. Dompdf parses the href attribute of image tags and respects xlink:href even if href is specified. However, php-svg-lib, which is later used to parse the svg file, parses the href attribute. Since href is respected if both xlink:href and href is specified, it's possible to bypass the protection on the Dompdf side by providing an empty xlink:href attribute. An attacker can exploit the vulnerability to call arbitrary URLs with arbitrary protocols if they provide an SVG file to the Dompdf. In PHP versions before 8.0.0, it leads to arbitrary unserialize, which will lead, at the very least, to arbitrary file deletion and might lead to remote code execution, depending on available classes. This vulnerability has been addressed in commit 95009ea98 which has been included in release version 2.0.3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
