## Affected

- jasonraimondi url-to-png: fixed in 2.0.3
- @jmondi/url-to-png (npm): fixed in 2.0.3

## Description

@jmondi/url-to-png is a self-hosted URL to PNG utility. Versions prior to 2.0.3 are vulnerable to arbitrary file read if a threat actor uses the Playright's screenshot feature to exploit the file wrapper. Version 2.0.3 mitigates this issue by requiring input URLs to be of protocol `http` or `https`. No known workarounds are available aside from upgrading.

## What to do
