Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere due to incomplete LaTeX sanitization that fails to block the verbatim package. The Latex handling module overlooks the verbatim package during sanitization, allowing specially crafted flashcards to include commands that read arbitrary files. An attacker can exploit this by sharing a malicious flashcard that when rendered, causes the application to read files on the user’s system, potentially exposing sensitive local data.
