slide-maker through 5.8.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in generate_images_openai.py that allows attackers to write image files outside the output directory via manifest-supplied filenames. Attackers can influence deck source material so the image prompt manifest contains ../ or symlinked filenames, creating directories and overwriting existing files at arbitrary paths.
Fix
Nothing published yet: no patch, vendor advisory or mitigation reference on NVD, no vendor advisory in the News for this CVE, not in CISA's KEV, no fixed package version. BaselineWatch does not guess at one.
