- CWE-562 - Return of Stack Variable Address
Summary
An exploitable return of stack variable address vulnerability exists in the JavaScript implementation of Nitro Pro PDF.

This can lead to code execution under the context of the application. An attacker can convince a user to open a document to trigger the vulnerability.
