It was found that wkhtmltopdf, a command line utility to render HTML files into PDF, allowed local filesystem access by default. This update disables local filesystem access, but it can be enabled if necessary with the --enable-local-file-access or the --allow
options. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.12.5-1+deb10u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your wkhtmltopdf packages.
