The LaTeX2HTML plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ver' or 'date' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Van Abel LaTeX2HTML allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects LaTeX2HTML: from n/a through 2.5.4.

Overleaf is a web-based collaborative LaTeX editor. When installing Server Pro using the Overleaf Toolkit from before 2024-07-17 or legacy docker-compose.yml from before 2024-08-28, the configuration for LaTeX compiles was insecure by default, requiring the administrator to enable the security features via a configuration setting (`SIBLING_CONTAINERS_ENABLED` in Toolkit, `SANDBOXED_COMPILES` in legacy docker-compose/custom deployments). If these security features are not enabled then users have access to the `sharelatex` container resources (filesystem, network, environment variables) when running compiles, leading to multiple file access vulnerabilities, either directly or via symlinks created during compiles. The setting has now been changed to be secure by default for new installs in the Toolkit and legacy docker-compose deployment. The Overleaf Toolkit has been updated to set `SIBLING_CONTAINERS_ENABLED=true` by default for new installs. It is recommended that any existing installations using the previous default setting migrate to using sibling containers. Existing installations can set `SIBLING_CONTAINERS_ENABLED=true` in `config/overleaf.rc` as a mitigation. In legacy docker-compose/custom deployments `SANDBOXED_COMPILES=true` should be used.

Overleaf is a web-based collaborative LaTeX editor. Overleaf Community Edition and Server Pro prior to version 5.0.7 (or 4.2.7 for the 4.x series) contain a vulnerability that allows an arbitrary language parameter in client spelling requests to be passed to the `aspell` executable running on the server. This causes `aspell` to attempt to load a dictionary file with an arbitrary filename. File access is limited to the scope of the overleaf server. The problem is patched in versions 5.0.7 and 4.2.7. Previous versions can be upgraded using the Overleaf toolkit `bin/upgrade` command. Users unable to upgrade may block POST requests to `/spelling/check` via a Web Application Firewall will prevent access to the vulnerable spell check feature. However, upgrading is advised.

A blocklist bypass vulnerability exists in the LaTeX functionality of Ankitects Anki 24.04. A specially crafted malicious flashcard can lead to an arbitrary file creation at a fixed path. An attacker can share a malicious flashcard to trigger this vulnerability.

An vulnerability in the handling of Latex exists in Ankitects Anki 24.04. When Latex is sanitized to prevent unsafe commands, the verbatim package, which comes installed by default in many Latex distributions, has been overlooked. A specially crafted flashcard can lead to an arbitrary file read. An attacker can share a flashcard to trigger this vulnerability.

Mattermost Mobile Apps versions <=2.16.0 fail to protect against abuse of a globally shared MathJax state which allows an attacker to change the contents of a LateX post, by creating another post with specific macro definitions.

parisneo/lollms-webui is vulnerable to path traversal attacks that can lead to remote code execution due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'Database path' and 'PDF LaTeX path' settings. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating these settings to execute arbitrary code on the targeted server. The issue affects the latest version of the software. The vulnerability stems from the application's handling of the 'discussion_db_name' and 'pdf_latex_path' parameters, which do not properly validate file paths, allowing for directory traversal. This vulnerability can also lead to further file exposure and other attack vectors by manipulating the 'discussion_db_name' parameter.

In Emacs before 29.3, LaTeX preview is enabled by default for e-mail attachments.

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Mathtex v.1.05 and before allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the length of the LaTeX string component.

Insufficient escaping of the LaTeX preamble made it possible for site administrators to read files available to the HTTP server system account.

The LaTeX for WordPress plugin through 3.4.10 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack which could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping

Open edX through Lilac.1 allows XSS in common/static/common/js/discussion/utils.js via crafted LaTeX content within a discussion.

EPrints 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and possibly execute commands via crafted LaTeX input to a cgi/latex2png?latex= URI.

EPrints 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to execute OS commands via crafted LaTeX input to a cgi/cal?year= URI.

An issue was discovered in Mattermost Server before 4.7.3. It allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via invalid LaTeX text.

An issue was discovered in Mattermost Server before 5.17.0. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client-side application crash) via a LaTeX message.

LatexDraw version <=4.0 contains a XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in SVG parsing functionality that can result in disclosure of data, server side request forgery, port scanning, possible rce. This attack appear to be exploitable via Specially crafted SVG file.

HP has identified a potential security vulnerability before IG_11_00_00.10 for DesignJet T790, T795, T1300, T2300, before MRY_04_05_00.5 for DesignJet T920, T930, T1500, T1530, T2500, T2530, before AENEAS_03_04_00.9 for DesignJet T3500, before NEXUS_01_12_00.11 for Latex 310, 330, 360, 370, before NEXUS_03_12_00.15 for Latex 315, 335, 365, 375, before STORM_00_05_01.6 for Latex 560, 570 and Latex 110 that may expose the credentials of the SMTP server configured to receive and process emails generated by the printers.

Format string vulnerability in the CmdKeywords function in funct1.c in latex2rtf before 2.3.10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the \keywords command in a crafted TeX file.
