    最初、postscript かと思ったんだけど claudeさん PDF内のPostScript実行可能性 実行されるかどうか 環境動作Ghostscript (gs, pdf2ps)実行される(歴史的に多数の CVE の原因)Adobe Acrobat/Reader(旧版)一部実行される場合があったAdobe Acrobat/Reader(現行)無視(セキュリティ強化済み)Evince, Okular, PDF.js 等無視macOS Preview無視 セキュリティ上の重要性 Ghostscript 経由のPostScript実行は 実際の攻撃経路 として使われてきました: CVE-2018-16509 — Ghostscript の -dSAFER バイパス → 任意コード実行 CVE-2019-6116 — 同様のバイパス ImageMagick や LibreOffice など Ghostscript をバックエンドに使うアプリが連鎖的に影響を受けた

    Post summary

    The passage outlines how Ghostscript can be used for PostScript execution and references two historical CVEs that allowed remote code execution, but it provides no new vulnerability details, PoC, or evidence of active exploitation.
