NVD description

Pillow is a Python imaging library. From 2.6.0 until 13.0.0, Pillow is vulnerable to argument injection when invoking Ghostscript for EPS input. EpsImagePlugin.Ghostscript passes a caller-controlled input filename after -f without converting it to a safe absolute path, so a name beginning with a hyphen can be interpreted as a Ghostscript option. An attacker who controls the filename can inject Ghostscript arguments. Arbitrary command execution specifically requires a leading @ argument-file filename and control of the referenced text file containing additional Ghostscript arguments; the reported chain reproduces with the default -dSAFER invocation. This issue is fixed in version 13.0.0.

    Pillow, Python's most used image library (~436M downloads a month), fixed three CVSS 9.2 flaws in 13.0.0. Worst is CVE-2026-112900: an attacker-chosen EPS filename can inject Ghostscript args and run commands. Versions 2.6.0 to 12.3.0 hit. No exploitation seen yet #Python https://t.co/KgRG2ey2Q3
