jsPDF has a Shared State Race Condition in addJS Plugin

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to 4.1.0, the addJS method in the jspdf Node.js build utilizes a shared module-scoped variable (text) to store JavaScript content. When used in a concurrent environment (e.g., a Node.js web server), this variable is shared across all requests. If multiple requests generate PDFs simultaneously, the JavaScript content intended for one user may be overwritten by a subsequent request before the document is generated. This results in Cross-User Data Leakage, where the PDF generated for User A contains the JavaScript payload (and any embedded sensitive data) intended for User B. Typically, this only affects server-side environments, although the same race conditions might occur if jsPDF runs client-side. The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected].

### Impact The addJS method in the jspdf Node.js build utilizes a shared module-scoped variable (text) to store JavaScript content. When used in a concurrent environment (e.g., a Node.js web server), this variable is shared across all requests. If multiple requests generate PDFs simultaneously, the JavaScript content intended for one user may be overwritten by a subsequent request before the document is generated. This results in Cross-User Data Leakage, where the PDF generated for User A contains the JavaScript payload (and any embedded sensitive data) intended for User B. Typically, this only affects server-side environments, although the same race conditions might occur if jsPDF runs client-side. ```js import { jsPDF } from "jspdf"; const docA = new jsPDF(); const docB = new jsPDF(); // 1. User A sets their script (stored in shared 'text' variable) docA.addJS('console.log("Secret A");'); // 2. User B sets their script (overwrites shared 'text' variable) docB.addJS('console.log("Secret B");'); // 3. User A saves their PDF (reads current 'text' variable) docA.save("userA.pdf"); // Result: userA.pdf contains "Secret B" instead of "Secret A" ``` ### Patches The vulnerability has been fixed in [email protected]. The fix moves the shared variable into the function scope, ensuring isolation between instances. ### Workarounds Avoid using the addJS method in concurrent server-side environments. If usage is required, ensure requests are processed sequentially (e.g., using a queue) rather than in parallel.
