# CVE-2026-54732: libreoffice-convert: path traversal / arbitrary file write

- Also known as: GHSA-GMXC-R82Q-347R
- Severity: CVSS 6.5 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.8.2
- Published: 2026-08-27 · Updated: 2026-08-28

## Affected

- elwerene libreoffice-convert: fixed in 1.8.2
- libreoffice-convert (npm): fixed in 1.8.2

## Description

libreoffice-convert is a Node.js module for converting office documents to different formats. Prior to 1.8.2, index.js uses the caller-controlled options.fileName value in path.join(tempDir.name, fileName) without reducing it to a base name. A filename containing ../ can escape the temporary directory because path.basename() normalization is missing and write the supplied document buffer to an arbitrary path writable by the process, including an SSH authorized_keys file, a cron configuration, or a web root. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.2.
