CERT-In Vulnerability Note CIVN-2026-0011
Local File Inclusion / Path Traversal Vulnerability in jsPDF

Original Issue Date:January 12, 2026

Severity Rating: CRITICAL

Software Affected

  • jsPDF versions ≤ 3.0.4

Overview

A vulnerability has been reported in jsPDF, which could be exploited by a remote attacker to read arbitrary files and embed their contents into generated PDF documents on the targeted system.

Target Audience:
Organizations and individuals using jsPDF in server-side / Node.js environments

Impact Assessment:
Potential exposure of sensitive data from the underlying host file system due to unauthorized file access and inclusion of file contents in generated PDF documents.

Risk Assessment:
Potential for information disclosure through local file inclusion/path traversal

Description

jsPDF is a widely used JavaScript library for generating PDF documents in web and server-side environments.

This vulnerability exists in the Node.js builds of jsPDF due to insufficient validation and sanitization of user-supplied file paths in file-loading and content-processing functionality. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform path traversal (local file inclusion), allowing unauthorized reading of arbitrary files from the underlying file system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to read arbitrary files and embed their contents into generated PDF documents on the targeted system.

Solution

Apply the security updates released by the vendor and upgrade jsPDF to version 4.0.0 or later.
