NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream texlive-uniquecounter package and not the texlive-uniquecounter package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5.
