jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to version 4.2.1, user control of the `options` argument of the `output` function allows attackers to inject arbitrary HTML (such as scripts) into the browser context the created PDF is opened in. The vulnerability can be exploited in the following scenario: the attacker provides values for the output options, for example via a web interface. These values are then passed unsanitized (automatically or semi-automatically) to the attack victim. The victim creates and opens a PDF with the attack vector using one of the vulnerable method overloads inside their browser. The attacker can thus inject scripts that run in the victims browser context and can extract or modify secrets from this context. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected]. As a workaround, sanitize user input before passing it to the output method.

jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to version 4.2.1, user control of arguments of the `createAnnotation` method allows users to inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions. If given the possibility to pass unsanitized input to the following method, a user can inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions, which might trigger when the PDF is opened or interacted with the `createAnnotation`: `color` parameter. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected]. As a workaround, sanitize user input before passing it to the vulnerable API members.

CVE-2026-24040 is a medium severity race condition vulnerability in the jsPDF library versions prior to 4.1.0. The issue arises from improper synchronization of a shared variable used to store JavaScript content during PDF generation in concurrent Node.js environments. This flaw can cause cross-user data leakage, where PDF documents generated for one user may inadvertently include JavaScript payloads intended for another user, exposing sensitive information. The vulnerability primarily affects server-side usage of jsPDF but could also manifest in client-side scenarios under concurrent execution. Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction but depends on concurrent PDF generation requests. The vulnerability has been fixed in jsPDF version 4.1.

CVE-2026-24043 is a medium severity vulnerability in the jsPDF JavaScript library versions prior to 4.1.0. It allows an attacker to inject arbitrary XML into the XMP metadata of generated PDFs via unsanitized input to the addMetadata function. This injection can compromise the integrity of PDFs, especially if they are signed or processed later. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction and can be exploited remotely. The issue has been fixed in jsPDF version 4.1.0. European organizations using vulnerable jsPDF versions in their web applications or services that generate PDFs should update promptly to prevent potential integrity issues.

jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to 4.1.0, user control of properties and methods of the Acroform module allows users to inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions. If given the possibility to pass unsanitized input to one of the following methods or properties, a user can inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions, which are executed when the victim opens the document. The vulnerable API members are AcroformChoiceField.addOption, AcroformChoiceField.setOptions, AcroFormCheckBox.appearanceState, and AcroFormRadioButton.appearanceState. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected].

jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to version 4.0.0, user control of the first argument of the loadFile method in the node.js build allows local file inclusion/path traversal. If given the possibility to pass unsanitized paths to the loadFile method, a user can retrieve file contents of arbitrary files in the local file system the node process is running in. The file contents are included verbatim in the generated PDFs. Other affected methods are `addImage`, `html`, and `addFont`. Only the node.js builds of the library are affected, namely the `dist/jspdf.node.js` and `dist/jspdf.node.min.js` files. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected]. This version restricts file system access per default. This semver-major update does not introduce other breaking changes. Some workarounds areavailable. With recent node versions, jsPDF recommends using the `--permission` flag in production. The feature was introduced experimentally in v20.0.0 and is stable since v22.13.0/v23.5.0/v24.0.0. For older node versions, sanitize user-provided paths before passing them to jsPDF.
