CVE-2022-41710 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Markdownify version 1.4.1 allows an external attacker to remotely obtain arbitrary local files on any client that attempts to view a malicious markdown file through Markdownify.

EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
