Overview

PDFKit is a gem that uses wkhtmltopdf to create PDFs using HTML. Affected versions of PDFKit contain a flaw that is due to the program failing to properly validate input during the handling of parameters when generating PDF files. This may allow a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code via the pdfkit generation options.
