Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.62%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Google Chrome executes DOM calls in response to a javascript: URI in the target attribute of a submit element within a form contained in an inline PDF file, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended Adobe Acrobat JavaScript restrictions on accessing the document object, as demonstrated by a web site that permits PDF uploads by untrusted users, and therefore has a shared document.domain between the web site and this javascript: URI. NOTE: the researcher reports that Adobe's position is "a PDF file is active content."
