Doc Text:
A flaw was found in jsPDF, a JavaScript library used for generating PDF documents. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary PDF objects, including JavaScript actions, into a generated PDF. This can occur if unsanitized user input is provided to the `createAnnotation` method's `color` parameter. When a user opens or interacts with the specially crafted PDF, these injected actions may execute, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or sensitive information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-18 04:04:22 UTC 
jsPDF is a library to generate PDFs in JavaScript. Prior to version 4.2.1, user control of arguments of the `createAnnotation` method allows users to inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions. If given the possibility to pass unsanitized input to the following method, a user can inject arbitrary PDF objects, such as JavaScript actions, which might trigger when the PDF is opened or interacted with the `createAnnotation`: `color` parameter. The vulnerability has been fixed in jsPDF.1. As a workaround, sanitize user input before passing it to the vulnerable API members.
