Adobe Reader Mobile for Android versions before 11.2 improperly restrict JavaScript usage through its JavaScript API implementation. A remote attacker can craft a PDF document that exploits the flawed JavaScript handling to execute arbitrary code on an affected Android device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module exploit targeting Adobe Reader for Android versions less than 11.2.0 (CVE-2014-0514). The exploit abuses the insecure exposure of native JavaScript interfaces in the PDF reader, embedding a browser-based exploit into a maliciously crafted PDF file. When a vulnerable device opens the PDF, the exploit triggers and executes a payload (by default, android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp), granting the attacker a remote shell on the device. The module supports multiple Android architectures (ARM, MIPSLE, X86) and is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, allowing for payload customization and automated exploitation. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the generated PDF file (default name: msf.pdf). The code is mature and weaponized, suitable for real-world exploitation within the Metasploit ecosystem.
