SCA: security update for github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 (GHSA-hwc4-gmrw-5222)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442470

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. In 8.32.0 and earlier, filename handling in
 pkg/modules/api/context.go uses filepath.Base on Linux, which does not treat backslashes as path
 separators, so a multipart filename containing Windows-style parent directory components survives
 sanitization. The original filename flows through ctx.diskToOriginal and the multi-output PDF routes into
 archives.FilesFromDisk and archives.Zip.Archive as the generated zip entry name. A remote attacker can
 submit a name such as ........\Windows\System32\evil.pdf through an upload or an upstream downloadFrom
 Content-Disposition header, and a Windows archive extractor can write the resulting file outside the
 intended extraction directory. The affected paths include /forms/pdfengines/split and other multi-output
 PDF, LibreOffice, and conversion routes, and exploitation can cause arbitrary file writes on a downstream
 Windows system when a user or process extracts the returned archive. This issue is fixed in version
 8.33.0. (CVE-2026-44829)

Solution

Update the github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 library and its related packages to version 8.33.0 or later.
