How to Fix CVE-2022-4643

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/sajari/docconv dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/sajari/docconv fixed: 1.2.1
Upgrade github.com/sajari/docconv to 1.2.1
code.sajari.com/docconv fixed: 1.3.5
Upgrade code.sajari.com/docconv to 1.3.5
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/sajari/docconv

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-4643, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/sajari/docconv:

inspect dependencies for github.com/sajari/docconv

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/sajari/docconv in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.2.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an os command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended os command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Github.com/sajari/docconv, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability was found in docconv prior to version 1.2.1. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects the function ConvertPDFImages of the file pdf_ocr.go. The manipulation of the argument path leads to os command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 1.2.1 can address this issue. The name of the patch is b19021ade3d0b71c89d35cb00eb9e589a121faa5. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. VDB-216502 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.
