What is CVE-2009-1599?
CVE-2009-1599 is a critical vulnerability in Opera Opera Browser, published on 11 May 2009. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Opera executes DOM calls in response to a javascript: URI in the target attribute of a submit element within a form contained in an inline PDF file, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended Adobe Acrobat JavaScript restrictions on accessing the document object, as demonstrated by a web site that permits PDF uploads by untrusted users, and therefore has a shared document.domain between the web site and this javascript: URI. NOTE: the researcher reports that Adobe's position is "a PDF file is active content."
