AI-suggested
A fix is available in pdfmake version 0.3.14. Users should upgrade to version 0.3.14 or later to remediate this vulnerability. There is no indication that temporary mitigations or workarounds are provided or necessary beyond applying the official fix.
Description
pdfmake versions prior to 0.3.14 have a vulnerability in their shared resource caching mechanism. This flaw allows attackers to access cached resources across different documents by exploiting a process-wide virtual file system keyed only by URL, without enforcing request headers or per-document access controls. As a result, attackers can retrieve resources fetched with other callers' credentials or access URLs that should be restricted by later document policies, leading to cross-document information disclosure and bypass of URL access restrictions.
