Description

This module abuses an XSS vulnerability in versions prior to Firefox 39.0.3, Firefox ESR
38.1.1, and Firefox OS 2.2 that allows arbitrary files to be stolen. The vulnerability
occurs in the PDF.js component, which uses Javascript to render a PDF inside a frame with
privileges to read local files. The in-the-wild malicious payloads searched for sensitive
files on Windows, Linux, and OSX. Android versions are reported to be unaffected, as they
do not use the Mozilla PDF viewer.
