This vulnerability allows arbitrary JavaScript execution (XSS) upon rendering a malicious PDF file.\n\n## TL;DR\nA high-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in ngx-extended-pdf-viewer. By parsing a crafted PDF with XML Forms Architecture (XFA) elements, attackers can bypass sanitizers and execute arbitrary script inside the application context.\n\n## Exploit Status: POC\n\n## Technical Details\n\n- **CWE ID**: CWE-79 / CWE-1103\n- **Attack Vector**: Network\n- **CVSS Score**: 8.6\n- **Impact**: Arbitrary JavaScript Execution (XSS)\n- **Exploit Status**: poc\n- **KEV Status**: No\n\n## Affected Systems\n\n- ngx-extended-pdf-viewer\n- Applications incorporating vulnerable pdf.js libraries with XML Forms Architecture (XFA) enabled\n- **ngx-extended-pdf-viewer**: >= 27.0.0-rc.0, < 29.0.0-rc.3 (Fixed in: `29.0.0-rc.3`)\n\n## Mitigation\n\n- Upgrade ngx-extended-pdf-viewer to version 29.0.0-rc.3 or higher.\n- Explicitly disable XML Forms Architecture (XFA) processing in configuration.\n- Deploy restrictive Content Security Policy (CSP) headers without the 'unsafe-inline' directive.\n\n**Remediation Steps:**\n1. In package.json, update 'ngx-extended-pdf-viewer' to '29.0.0-rc.3' or later.\n2. Run dependency update: npm install or yarn install.\n3. Verify that pdfDefaultOptions.enableXfa is set to false if working on unpatched deployment.\n4. Configure your web server to include 'Content-Security-Policy: default-src \\'self\\'; script-src \\'self\\';' in response headers.\n\n## References\n\n- [Upstream pdf.js Advisory](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-hq66-cqwq-w95j)\n- [ngx-extended-pdf-viewer Advisory](https://github.com/stephanrauh/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/security/advisories/GHSA-w9hm-4m3m-fxmm)\n\n\n---\n*Generated by [CVEReports](https://cvereports.com/reports/GHSA-W9HM-4M3M-FXMM) - Automated Vulnerability Intelligence*", "url": "https://gist.github.com/alon710/49e34188f9c47f29b61522ee6a9c6906"}], "metrics": {"as_of": "2026-11-05T05:41:24.535Z", "anchors": {"origin": {"timestamp": "2026-08-06T21:12:27Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-08-06T21:12:27Z", "kind": "milestone", "label": "Published", "source": "github \u00b7 GHSA-HQ66-CQWQ-W95J", "record": "GHSA-HQ66-CQWQ-W95J", "field": "published", "metric_role": "disclosure", "metric_basis": "recorded_event", "linked_record": true}, "discovery": null, "report": null, "acknowledgement": null, "disclosure": {"timestamp": "2026-08-06T21:12:27Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-08-06T21:12:27Z", "kind": "milestone", "label": "Published", "source": "github \u00b7 GHSA-HQ66-CQWQ-W95J", "record": "GHSA-HQ66-CQWQ-W95J", "field": "published", "metric_role": "disclosure", "metric_basis": "recorded_event", "linked_record": true}, "exploit_publication": null, "exploitation": null, "patch": null}, "vendor_response_time": {"available": false, "missing": ["start", "end"]}, "time_to_exploit": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "disclosure_to_exploit": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "disclosure_to_exploit_publication": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "time_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start", "end"]}, "total_time_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start", "end"]}, "disclosure_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "time_unpatched": {"available": true, "seconds": 7806537.535726, "hours": 2168.482648812778, "days": 90.35344370053241, "min_seconds": 7806537.535726, "max_seconds": 7806537.535726, "approximate": false, "ongoing": true, "order_known": true, "batch_listing": false, "end_before_start": false, "start": {"timestamp": "2026-08-06T21:12:27Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-08-06T21:12:27Z", "kind": "milestone", "label": "Published", "source": "github \u00b7 GHSA-HQ66-CQWQ-W95J", "record": "GHSA-HQ66-CQWQ-W95J", "field": "published", "metric_role": "disclosure", "metric_basis": "recorded_event", "linked_record": true}, "end": {"timestamp": "2026-11-05T05:41:24.535Z", "date_only": false, "label": "As of", "source": "Calculation clock"}}, "exploitation_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start"]}, "exploit_publication_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start"]}}}
