CVE-2026-49260
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
PhpWeasyPrint is a PHP library allowing PDF generation from a URL or an HTML page. Prior to version 2.5.1, `pontedilana/php-weasyprint` builds the shell command for WeasyPrint by passing the binary path through `escapeshellarg()` first and then checking the *quoted* result with `is_executable()`. On POSIX `escapeshellarg('/usr/local/bin/weasyprint')` returns `'/usr/local/bin/weasyprint'` with the single-quote characters as part of the string, so `is_executable()` looks for a file whose actual name includes those quotes. That file never exists, the "safe" branch is dead code, and the raw `$binary` string (set via the constructor or `setBinary()`) flows directly into `Symfony\Component\Process\Process::fromShellCommandline()`. Any deployment whose binary path is sourced from configuration, an environment variable, or a per-tenant setting reaches a shell-command-injection sink. The library is documented as a one-to-one substitute for KnpLabs/snappy and inherited the exact pre-fix codepath KnpLabs patched in GHSA-vpr4-p6fq-85jc. PhpWeasyPrint version 2.5.1 contains a patch for the issue.

"lang": "es",
"value": "PhpWeasyPrint es una biblioteca PHP que permite la generación de PDF a partir de una URL o una página HTML. Antes de la versión 2.5.1, “pontedilana/php-weasyprint” construye el comando de shell para WeasyPrint pasando primero la ruta del binario a través de “escapeshellarg()” y luego verificando el resultado entrecomillado con “is_executable()”. En POSIX, “escapeshellarg(’/usr/local/bin/weasyprint’)” devuelve “’/usr/local/bin/weasyprint’” con los caracteres de comilla simple como parte de la cadena, por lo que “is_executable()” busca un archivo cuyo nombre real incluye esas comillas. Ese archivo nunca existe, la rama ’segura’ es código muerto, y la cadena “$binary” sin procesar (establecida a través del constructor o “setBinary()”) fluye directamente hacia “Symfony\\Component\\Process\\Process::fromShellCommandline()”. Cualquier despliegue cuya ruta binaria se obtenga de la configuración, una variable de entorno o una configuración por inquilino, alcanza un sumidero de inyección de comandos de shell. La biblioteca está documentada como un sustituto uno a uno de KnpLabs/snappy y heredó la ruta de código pre-parche exacta que KnpLabs parcheó en GHSA-vpr4-p6fq-85jc. PhpWeasyPrint versión 2.5.1 contiene un parche para el problema."
