CVE-2026-40281 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
Gotenberg vulnerable to argument injection via newlines in ExifTool metadata values
Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. In versions 8.30.1 and earlier, the metadata write endpoint validates metadata keys for control characters but leaves metadata values unsanitized. A newline character in a metadata value splits the ExifTool stdin line into two separate arguments, allowing injection of arbitrary ExifTool pseudo-tags such as -FileName, -Directory, -SymLink, and -HardLink. This is a bypass of the incomplete key-sanitization fix introduced in v8.30.1. An unauthenticated attacker can rename or move any PDF being processed to an arbitrary path in the container filesystem, overwrite arbitrary files, or create symlinks and hard links at arbitrary paths.

CVE-2026-40280 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Gotenberg SSRF via case-insensitive URL scheme bypass in webhook and downloadFrom deny-lists
Gotenberg is an API-based document conversion tool. In versions 8.30.1 and earlier, the default private-IP deny-lists for the --webhook-deny-list and --api-download-from-deny-list flags use a case-sensitive regular expression (^https?://) to match URL schemes. Because Go's net/url.Parse() normalizes the scheme to lowercase before establishing the outbound TCP connection, an attacker can bypass the deny-list by simply capitalizing part of the URL scheme (e.g., HTTP://, HTTPS://, or Http://). This allows unauthenticated requests to reach internal network services, including private IP ranges, loopback addresses, and cloud instance metadata endpoints such as HTTP://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/. This bypasses the same security control that was patched in CVE-2026-27018. This issue has been fixed in version 8.31.0.

Gotenberg: Chromium deny-list bypass via case-insensitive URL scheme
Gotenberg is an API for converting document formats. Prior to version 8.29.0, the fix introduced for CVE-2024-21527 can be bypassed using mixed-case or uppercase URL schemes. This issue has been patched in version 8.29.0.

github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8/pkg/* - SSRF
Versions of the package github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8/pkg/gotenberg before 8.1.0; versions of the package github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8/pkg/modules/chromium before 8.1.0; versions of the package github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8/pkg/modules/webhook before 8.1.0 are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the /convert/html endpoint when a request is made to a file via localhost, such as <iframe src="\\localhost/etc/passwd">. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can achieve local file inclusion, allowing of sensitive files read on the host system. Workaround An alternative is using either or both --chromium-deny-list and --chromium-allow-list flags.
