Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs due to a LaTeX blocklist bypass in the LaTeX processing functionality. The LaTeX module fails to enforce its blocklist properly, allowing specially crafted malicious flashcards to create arbitrary files at a fixed path. An attacker can exploit this by sharing a malicious flashcard that, when imported or rendered by Anki, creates files at predetermined locations on the user’s system, potentially enabling further unwanted actions such as remote code execution.
