Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-10 21:31 – Updated: 2026-10-10 21:31

Details

slide-maker through 5.8.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in generate_images_openai.py that allows attackers to write image files outside the output directory via manifest-supplied filenames. Attackers can influence deck source material so the image prompt manifest contains ../ or symlinked filenames, creating directories and overwriting existing files at arbitrary paths.

Severity

3.3 (Low)
