PDF.js: Arbitrary JavaScript execution upon opening a malicious PDF

Impact

If PDF.js is used to load a malicious PDF, and PDF.js is configured with enableScripting set to true (which is the default value) and no CSP for disallowing script-src, unrestricted attacker-controlled JavaScript will be executed in the context of the hosting domain.

Patches

Workarounds

Set enableScripting to false or set a CSP.
