CVE-2023-35936 is an arbitrary file write vulnerability affecting Pandoc versions 1.13 through 3.1.3, specifically when processing untrusted input with the --extract-media option or outputting to PDF. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.0) allows an attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system, depending on the Pandoc process's privileges, with a high impact on integrity. While it requires user interaction and high attack complexity, there is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
