CVE-2025-14413

Soda PDF Desktop CBZ File Parsing Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Soda PDF Desktop. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of CBZ files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-CAN-27509.

Summary		(es) Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio y ejecución remota de código (RCE) en el análisis de archivos CBZ de Soda PDF Desktop. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de Soda PDF Desktop. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso.\n\nEl fallo específico existe en el análisis de archivos CBZ. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de una ruta suministrada por el usuario antes de usarla en operaciones de archivo. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del usuario actual. Fue ZDI-CAN-27509.
