An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in Haskell’s Pandoc. This issue can be triggered by providing a specially crafted image element in the input when generating files using the --extract-media option or outputting to PDF format. This may allow an attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system, depending on the privileges of the process running pandoc.
