SCA: security update for github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 (GHSA-g924-cjx7-2rjw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441468

Description

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

- Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.32.0, the
/forms/chromium/convert/url and /forms/chromium/screenshot/url routes accept url=file:///tmp/... from
anonymous callers. The default Chromium deny-list intentionally exempts file:///tmp/ so HTML/Markdown
routes can load their own request-local assets, and those routes apply a per-request AllowedFilePrefixes
guard to scope the read. The URL routes never set AllowedFilePrefixes, so the scope guard silently skips.
Alice enumerates /tmp/, walks Gotenberg's per-request working directories, and reads the raw source files
of other in-flight conversions as rendered PDF output. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.32.0.
(CVE-2026-42597)

Solution

Update the github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 library and its related packages to version 8.32.0 or later.
