Gotenberg < 8.34.0 - Local File Disclosure

CVE-2026-55229
Early Release

Description

Gotenberg before 8.34.0 allows SSRF and limited local file disclosure via its /forms/libreoffice/convert endpoint. When LibreOffice is used to convert user-uploaded DOCX files, external relationships within the document (such as a:blip r:link TargetMode="External") can instruct LibreOffice to fetch local resources (file://) or remote resources (http/https), which are then included as images in the generated PDF. This can disclose the contents of local files LibreOffice can open as images, or allow outbound requests to attacker-controlled endpoints. Version 8.34.0 disables resolution of external resources during document conversion to mitigate the vulnerability.
