DOM XSS in Apryse WebViewer via remote uiConfig (CVE-2025-70402)
CVE-2025-70402 is described as a critical DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability in Apryse WebViewer (formerly PDFTron) where the uiConfig query parameter is trusted as a remote URL, fetched, parsed as JSON, and applied to the WebViewer UI. A malicious value in a uiConfig field (described as a “glyph” field) is propagated into a React component (Icon.js) and rendered via dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitization, enabling script execution in the context of the WebViewer origin. The disclosure notes an SVG <foreignObject> technique to achieve script execution as a bypass despite DOMParser behavior when handling image/svg+xml.
