Anki is vulnerable to a Blocklist Bypass vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation in the LaTeX functionality, which allows a specially crafted malicious flashcard to lead to arbitrary file creation at a fixed path. Attackers can exploit this by sharing a malicious flashcard to trigger the vulnerability.
