CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo, a 2D graphics library. Prior to version 2.7.0, Cairo can send requests to external hosts when processing SVG files. A malicious actor could send a specially crafted SVG file that allows them to perform a server-side request forgery or denial of service. Version 2.7.0 disables CairoSVG's ability to access other files online by default.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo, a 2D graphics library. Prior to version 2.7.0, Cairo can send     requests to external hosts when processing SVG files. A malicious actor could send a specially crafted SVG     file that allows them to perform a server-side request forgery or denial of service. Version 2.7.0     disables CairoSVG's ability to access other files online by default. (CVE-2023-27586)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo, a 2D graphics library. Prior to version 2.7.0, Cairo can send
    requests to external hosts when processing SVG files. A malicious actor could send a specially crafted SVG
    file that allows them to perform a server-side request forgery or denial of service. Version 2.7.0
    disables CairoSVG's ability to access other files online by default. (CVE-2023-27586)

The remote openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2023:0272-1 advisory.

  - CairoSVG is a Python (pypi) package. CairoSVG is an SVG converter based on Cairo. In CairoSVG before     version 2.5.1, there is a regular expression denial of service (REDoS) vulnerability. When processing SVG     files, the python package CairoSVG uses two regular expressions which are vulnerable to Regular Expression     Denial of Service (REDoS). If an attacker provides a malicious SVG, it can make cairosvg get stuck     processing the file for a very long time. This is fixed in version 2.5.1. See Referenced GitHub advisory     for more information. (CVE-2021-21236)

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5382 advisory.

    It was reported that cairosvg, a SVG converter based on Cairo, can send requests to external hosts when     processing specially crafted SVG files with external file resource loading. An attacker can take advantage     of this flaw to perform a server-side request forgery or denial of service. Fetching of external files is     disabled by default with this update. For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed     in version 2.5.0-1.1+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your cairosvg packages. For the detailed     security status of cairosvg please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-     tracker.debian.org/tracker/cairosvg
