Summary
@pdfme/common from 5.5.10 before 6.2.6 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in getB64BasePdf. Attackers can bypass the isUrlSafeToFetch denylist by supplying basePdf URLs that use IPv4-mapped IPv6, [::], NAT64 or localhost alias hostnames. A remote attacker without privileges can read loopback, internal or cloud metadata responses through generated documents (CWE-918).
