Weaknesses
● evasion
○ filters → exfiltration
○ same origin policy
○ detection
■ ex: clean PE but malicious PDF/HTML/...
■ exhaust checks
■ pretend to be corrupt

● DoS
Conclusion
Conclusion
● type confusion is bad
○ succinct docs too
○ lazy softwares as well

● go beyond the specs
○ Adobe: good

● suggestions
○ more extensions checks
○ isolate downloaded files
○ enforce magic signature at offset 0
thank YOU !
