Summary

CVE-2025-56590 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Apryse Html2Pdf. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 39.2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-56590 is a vulnerability in the InsertFromURL() function of the Apryse HTML2PDF SDK through version 11.10. This flaw, classified under CWE-78 (OS Command Injection), allows an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the local server where the SDK is deployed. The issue was published on 2026-01-22 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The vulnerability can be exploited by any unauthenticated attacker with network access to the affected application, requiring low complexity and no user interaction. By providing a specially crafted URL to the InsertFromURL() function, an attacker can inject malicious commands, leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the server. This grants full control over the local system, enabling data theft, persistence, or further lateral movement.

Advisories and additional details are available from the vendor at http://apryse.com and from Stratascale at https://www.stratascale.com/resource/apryse-server-argument-injection-rce/, which describe the argument injection leading to RCE.
