GHSA-87hq-q4gp-9wr4
react-pdf vulnerable to arbitrary JavaScript execution upon opening a malicious PDF with PDF.js
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
If PDF.js is used to load a malicious PDF, and PDF.js is configured with `isEvalSupported` set to `true` (which is the default value), unrestricted attacker-controlled JavaScript will be executed in the context of the hosting domain.
### Patches
[This patch](https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf/commit/671e6eaa2e373e404040c13cc6b668fe39839cad) forces `isEvalSupported` to `false`, removing the attack vector.
### Workarounds
Set `options.isEvalSupported` to `false`, where `options` is `Document` component prop.
