XHR requests in the HTML code are executed by the server. Input with an XHR request such as `request.open("GET","file:///etc/passwd")` will result in a PDF document with the contents of `/etc/passwd`. ## Recommendation No fix is currently available. There is a mitigation available in the provided reference.
