Technical details
The POST /api/v1/convert/svg/pdf endpoint in versions 2.13.1 and prior uses Apache Batik to render SVG files. A scheme-less, root-relative image reference in the SVG bypasses the SvgSanitizer.isExternalUrl() check, causing Batik to resolve it as a same-origin local file using the file:/// protocol. An attacker supplies a crafted SVG with image paths to exfiltrate image-decodable files, which are then rendered into the returned PDF. The attack requires network access but works without authentication on login-disabled deployments or with non-admin credentials when login is enabled.
