Description

Addressed a potential issue where the application could be exposed to Remote Code Execution vulnerability when handling certain JavaScripts. This occurs as the application fails to validate the cPath parameter in the exportXFAData method and is thus forced to write to the Startup folder with an .hta file that can execute arbitrary code after a restart.
