CVE-2024-33869: Artifex Ghostscript

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. Path traversal and command execution can occur (via a crafted PostScript document) because of path reduction in base/gpmisc.c. For example, restrictions on use of %pipe% can be bypassed via the aa/../%pipe%command# output filename.

Affected products

• Artifex Ghostscript: before 10.03.1 (fixed in 10.03.1)
