Un código Javascript especialmente manipulado dentro de un documento PDF malicioso puede desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad, lo que puede provocar daños en la memoria y la ejecución de código arbitrario. Un atacante debe engañar al usuario para que abra el archivo malicioso para desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad. La explotación también es posible si un usuario visita un sitio malicioso especialmente manipulado si la extensión del complemento del navegador está habilitada."
