CVE-2021-3838

DomPDF before version 2.0.0 is vulnerable to PHAR (PHP Archive) deserialization due to a lack of checking on the protocol before passing it into the file_get_contents() function. An attacker who can upload files of any type to the server can pass in the phar:// protocol to unserialize the uploaded file and instantiate arbitrary PHP objects. This can lead to remote code execution, especially when DOMPdf is used with frameworks with documented POP chains like Laravel or vulnerable developer code.

It was discovered that Dompdf was not properly validating untrusted input when processing HTML content under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-5011, CVE-2014-5012, CVE-2014-5013)

It was discovered that Dompdf was not properly validating processed HTML content that referenced PHAR files, which could result in the deserialization of untrusted data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3838)

It was discovered that Dompdf was not properly validating processed HTML content that referenced both a remote base and a local file, which could result in the bypass of a chroot check. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-2400)
