This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with calibre-ebook. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total calibre-ebook CVEs: 10
Earliest CVE date: 16 Mar 2017, 15:59 UTC
Latest CVE date: 06 Aug 2024, 04:16 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2024-7009
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 3
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 200.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 200.0%
Average CVSS: 4.54
Max CVSS: 10.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 3
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 4 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 3 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 0 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 3 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for calibre-ebook, sorted by severity first and recency.
Unsanitized user-input in Calibre <= 7.15.0 allow users with permissions to perform full-text searches to achieve SQL injection on the SQLite database.
Unsanitized user-input in Calibre <= 7.15.0 allow attackers to perform reflected cross-site scripting.
Path traversal in Calibre <= 7.14.0 allow unauthenticated attackers to achieve arbitrary file read.
link_to_local_path in ebooks/conversion/plugins/html_input.py in calibre before 6.19.0 can, by default, add resources outside of the document root.
calibre before 5.32.0 contains a regular expression that is vulnerable to ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) in html_preprocess_rules in ebooks/conversion/preprocess.py.
Race condition issues were found in Calibre at devices/linux_mount_helper.c allowing unprivileged users the ability to mount any device to anywhere.
A untrusted search path issue was found in Calibre at devices/linux_mount_helper.c leading to the ability of unprivileged users to execute any program as root.
Input validation issues were found in Calibre at devices/linux_mount_helper.c which can lead to argument injection and elevation of privileges.
gui2/viewer/bookmarkmanager.py in Calibre 3.18 calls cPickle.load on imported bookmark data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .pickle file, as demonstrated by Python code that contains an os.system call.
The E-book viewer in calibre before 2.75 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted epub file with JavaScript.
