SCA: security update for Mammoth, mammoth, org.zwobble.mammoth:mammoth (GHSA-rmjr-87wv-gf87)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435674

Description

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

 - Versions of the package mammoth from 0.3.25 and before 1.11.0; versions of the package mammoth from 0.3.25
 and before 1.11.0; versions of the package mammoth before 1.11.0; versions of the package
 org.zwobble.mammoth:mammoth before 1.11.0 are vulnerable to Directory Traversal due to the lack of path or
 file type validation when processing a docx file containing an image with an external link (r:link
 attribute instead of embedded r:embed). The library resolves the URI to a file path and after reading, the
 content is encoded as base64 and included in the HTML output as a data URI. An attacker can read arbitrary
 files on the system where the conversion is performed or cause an excessive resources consumption by
 crafting a docx file that links to special device files such as /dev/random or /dev/zero. (CVE-2025-11849)
