CVE-2023-32700
LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source.
Impact
LuaTeX before 1.17.0 allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when compiling a TeX file obtained from an untrusted source. This occurs because luatex-core.lua lets the original io.popen be accessed. This also affects TeX Live before 2023 r66984 and MiKTeX before 23.5.
Affected products
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions |
|---|---|---|
| Luatex Project | Luatex | from 1.04 before 1.16.2 |
| Miktex | Miktex | from 2.9.6300 before 23.5 |
| Tug | Tex Live | from 2017 before 2023 |
