https://calibre-ebook.com/whats-new for 7.16.0 Remote code execution: A remote code execution bug in the Content server introduced in calibre version 6.9.0 (released on 2022-11-25) means that anyone with access to the server also has access to the rest of the computer the server is running on. If you are using a password to protect access to the server only people that know the password can gain access via the bug. Path traversal: A bug in a feature introduced in calibre version 6.16.0 (released 2023-04-20) means anyone with access to the server can also read non calibre related files on the computer running the server. SQL injection: A bug in a feature introduced in calibre version 6.10.0 (released 2022-12-16) means anyone with access to the server can also read non-calibre SQLITE database files on the computer running the server. XSS: Only relevant if you embed the calibre server within a larger server, it means attackers who can convince users to click on a specially crafted link, can run JavaScript code with the same origin as the larger server calibre is embedded in.
