| CVE | Published | Severity | Details | Vector |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2021-42704 | 2022-05-18 17:15:08 | HIGH (8) | Inkscape version 0.91 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds write, which may allow an attacker to arbitrary execute code. | LOCAL |
| CVE-2021-42702 | 2022-05-18 17:15:08 | LOW (3) | Inkscape version 0.91 can access an uninitialized pointer, which may allow an attacker to have access to unauthorized information. | LOCAL |

| CVE-2012-6076 | 2013-03-12 22:55:01 | MEDIUM (4) | Inkscape before 0.48.4 reads .eps files from /tmp instead of the current directory, which might cause Inkspace to process unintended files, allow local users to obtain sensitive information, and possibly have other unspecified impacts. | LOCAL |
| CVE-2012-5656 | 2013-01-18 11:48:40 | MEDIUM (6) | The rasterization process in Inkscape before 0.48.4 allows local users to read arbitrary files via an external entity in a SVG file, aka an XML external entity (XXE) injection attack. | LOCAL |
Why keeping Inkscape patched matters
Unpatched third-party applications are one of the most common ways attackers get in: 57% of breached MSP clients and 32% of ransomware cases trace back to a missing patch. Every Inkscape release that fixes a security bug is public, so attackers see it too, and an out-of-date install becomes a documented way in. Tracking the installed version on every machine and closing the gap quickly is what turns a disclosed CVE into a non-event.
