Hello D4K,
Where did you read this? From what I can see, there have not been any (significant) updates to dompdf since 0.6.0, which is the latest official release and also the one that is included with this plugin.
Here’s an unresolved ticket about the issue: https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/issues/785
Let me know if you have more information and I’d be very happy to help out!

It looks like 0.6.1 is the latest
https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/releases/tag/v0.6.1
by the way 0.6.0 looks vulnerable
It looks like the problem is still there 🙂

Hey D4K, thanks for the feedback! I just checked and actually the bundled dompdf is already up to date (0.6.1). So in that sense we’re safe. 🙂
That PHP PDF library that you refer to is limited in several other aspects, the main problem being that it does not readily convert HTML&CSS to PDF. This would make the templates far more complicated!
I’ve chosen DOMPDF because it’s a very solid HTML to PDF library that is still actively supported & maintained. It lacks some features but overall I am very pleased with it. It’s too bad that it does not support RTL out of the box.
