Overview

react-pdf is a package used to display existing PDFs.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the isEvalSupported configuration parameter. An attacker can execute code by convincing a user to open a malicious PDF file. This is only exploitable if isEvalSupported is set to true, which is the default setting.
