# Laradocs: unescaped Node.js path lets local users inject commands

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-65973 (this .md is for agents)

Laradocs, a documentation tool for Laravel projects, builds a shell command string with an unescaped Node.js binary path when rendering KaTeX math on the server. A party who can control that path can run arbitrary commands on the host running the render.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Laradocs version in the project's `composer.lock` for `laradocs` at a version from `0.4.0` up to, but not including, `1.0.0`.
- Confirm whether the KaTeX server-side rendering path is used, which the sources do not describe in detail.

## Fix

- Laradocs: upgrade to `1.0.0` or later.

## Timeline

## Documents

- [advisory] Vendor advisory: github.com https://github.com/PeteBishwhip/laradocs/security/advisories/GHSA-h746-qpxh-ph7g
- [fix] Release notes: github.com https://github.com/PeteBishwhip/laradocs/releases/tag/v1.0.0

## From the sources

Laradocs maintains version-controlled documentation inside a Laravel codebase. From version 0.4.0 to before version 1.0.0, Laradocs is vulnerable to local command injection in server-side KaTeX rendering via an unescaped Node.js binary path in a proc_open() command string. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.0.
