jsPDF has Shared State Race Condition in addJS Plugin
Impact
The addJS method in the jspdf Node.js build utilizes a shared module-scoped variable (text) to store JavaScript content. When used in a concurrent environment (e.g., a Node.js web server), this variable is shared across all requests.
If multiple requests generate PDFs simultaneously, the JavaScript content intended for one user may be overwritten by a subsequent request before the document is generated. This results in Cross-User Data Leakage, where the PDF generated for User A contains the JavaScript payload (and any embedded sensitive data) intended for User B.
Typically, this only affects server-side environments, although the same race conditions might occur if jsPDF runs client-side.
Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed in jspdf@4.0.1. The fix moves the shared variable into the function scope, ensuring isolation between instances.
Workarounds
Avoid using the addJS method in concurrent server-side environments. If usage is required, ensure requests are processed sequentially (e.g., using a queue) rather than in parallel.
