Unauthenticated file reads via unrestricted converter URIs
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Server-side request forgery in SoftVision webPDF before 10.0.2 allows remote attackers to read local files via uploaded HTML or XML. The PDF converter follows attacker-supplied http and file resource URIs without distinguishing internal, external, or local resources. Exploitation requires access to the upload-and-convert workflow; successful payloads expose server files and enable scans of internal services.
