Technical details
A PDF injection vulnerability exists in the Acroform module of jsPDF due to improper encoding or escaping of output (CWE-116). Specifically, the API members AcroformChoiceField.addOption, AcroformChoiceField.setOptions, AcroFormCheckBox.appearanceState, and AcroFormRadioButton.appearanceState fail to sanitize input, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary PDF objects. By crafting a payload that closes existing arrays and injects Additional Action (/AA) or JavaScript (/JS) keys, an attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript when a victim opens the generated document. This requires the application to pass unsanitized user input into the affected jsPDF methods. The issue is resolved in version 4.1.0.
