🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Untrusted LaTeX compilation commands (pdflatex and pandoc using xelatex) were executed without the -no-shell-escape flag, which allows malicious LaTeX documents to execute arbitrary system commands (RCE).
🎯 Impact: Remote Code Execution (RCE) and Denial of Service (DoS) via infinite compilation loops.
πŸ”§ Fix: Enforced -no-shell-escape flags for pdflatex and pandoc, and wrapped all subprocess.Popen().communicate() calls with timeouts and process cleanup.
βœ… Verification: Ran pytest tests/test_pdf_security.py and the full test suite to ensure the flags are present and timeouts behave correctly without regressions.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 12386825772875980417 started by @anchapin

- Added `-no-shell-escape` flag to `pdflatex` compilation calls
- Added `--pdf-engine-opt=-no-shell-escape` flag to `pandoc` compilation calls
- Added timeout constraints (30s for compilation, 10s for availability checks)
- Added proper process cleanup for `TimeoutExpired` exceptions to avoid zombie processes
