Description
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the PDF preview functionality of uTools thru 7.1.1.

A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the uTools desktop application for Windows, affecting versions through 7.1.1. The issue arises in the PDF preview feature, where the application fails to properly validate font types in embedded PDF files.
