Summary

A vulnerability was found in node-tesseract up to version 0.2.7 in the process function of lib/tesseract.js (Command Builder component). Manipulating the image argument leads to OS command injection, and the attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used; the project has not yet responded to the issue report.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary OS commands in the context of the application process, potentially leading to server compromise or data leakage. The public availability of the exploit increases the risk of rapid exploitation.

Recommendation

Update node-tesseract to a version later than 0.2.7 or apply a patch as soon as it becomes available. Until then, avoid passing untrusted data to the image argument and restrict process privileges.
