The LaTeX backend's handling of \includegraphics, \input, and \include commands lacked path containment validation. Attackers could craft malicious LaTeX documents with path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../etc/passwd) to:
Fixed in version 2.91.0. The fix implements strict path validation using Path.resolve().is_relative_to() to ensure all resolved paths remain within the base document directory. Attempts to traverse outside the base directory are logged and blocked.
Avoid processing untrusted LaTeX documents. If processing is necessary, run in a sandboxed environment with restricted file system access.
