CVE-2026-40893: Gotenberg has an ExifTool Dangerous Tag Blocklist Bypass via Group-Prefixed Tag Names that Allows Arbitrary File Rename and Move

May 4, 2026

Gotenberg blocks certain ExifTool tag names like FileName and Directory to stop attackers from renaming or moving files on the server. But ExifTool allows a longer form of the same tag — System:FileName — which does the exact same thing. Gotenberg only checks if the tag is exactly FileName, so System:FileName slips right through and ExifTool happily renames the file. No login is needed. One HTTP request is enough.
