CVE-2026-55798 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:8.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-pillow-doc package and not the python3-pillow-doc package as distributed by RHEL.
Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, WindowsViewer.get_command() constructed a cmd.exe shell command by directly embedding a file path into an f-string without escaping and passed the result to subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True), allowing shell metacharacters in the file path to inject arbitrary cmd.exe commands. This issue is fixed in version 12.3.0.
