CVE-2023-32700 (GCVE-0-2023-32700)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-05-20 00:00 – Updated: 2025-01-31 15:30

Summary

LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5.

Severity
