[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 956205, member: 32260"] [HEADING=3][USER=91177]peterfat111[/USER], [USER=73543] robboman[/USER][/HEADING] The problem with SodaPDF and SumatraPDF is that they use open-source DLLs that sometimes are not patched for a long time. In the case of one SumatraPDF vulnerability, the exploit was used in the wild. Of course, the chance to be infected by this exploit was minimal in the Home environment. Exploits in the wild are usually related to the most popular applications. Technically, the design of SodaPDF and SumatraPDF is not safe because they do not use sandboxing. One can probably make them safer by disabling JavaScript in PDFs and applying some Exploit Protection mitigations available in Windows 10. SumatraPDF can also disable Internet access. [/QUOTE]
