Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
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
The patch removes the use of `eval`:
