Summary

A vulnerability exists that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript under the resource://pdf.js origin by sending a specially crafted multipart response. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access to cross-origin PDF content. While desktop clients limit access to 'same site' documents due to the Site Isolation feature, the risk is heightened on Android versions where full cross-origin access is possible. The vulnerability impacts various versions of Firefox and Thunderbird, making it critical for users running outdated software to take immediate action.
