Severity ?
8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H

Summary
Stirling-PDF is a locally hosted web application that performs various operations on PDF files. In versions prior to 2.5.2, the /api/v1/convert/markdown/pdf endpoint extracts user-supplied ZIP entries without path checks. Any authenticated user can write files outside the intended temporary working directory, leading to arbitrary file write with the privileges of the Stirling-PDF process user (stirlingpdfuser). This can overwrite writable files and compromise data integrity, with further impact depending on writable paths. The issue was fixed in version 2.5.2.

En versiones anteriores a la 2.5.2, el endpoint /API/v1/convert/markdown/pdf extrae entradas ZIP proporcionadas por el usuario sin comprobaciones de ruta. Cualquier usuario autenticado puede escribir archivos fuera del directorio de trabajo temporal previsto, lo que lleva a la escritura arbitraria de archivos con los privilegios del usuario del proceso de Stirling-PDF (stirlingpdfuser). Esto puede sobrescribir archivos escribibles y comprometer la integridad de los datos, con un impacto adicional dependiendo de las rutas escribibles. El problema se solucion\u00f3 en la versi\u00f3n 2.5.2."
