From 16d93b0feb47c2411ef6b924bb7c504eeb97a497 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jedarden Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 16:36:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat(bf-2pxsu): add logging for JavaScript execution attempts - Add warn! macro import to javascript.rs module - Add warning log at detect_javascript() entry point stating execution is not supported - Update verification note for bf-2pxsu This complements the logging already present in detection.rs (from bf-2pyg1) by ensuring the JavaScript module itself has appropriate logging. Per TH-04 threat model, pdftract NEVER executes embedded JavaScript; this logging explicitly confirms detection-only behavior. --- .needle-predispatch-sha | 2 +- crates/pdftract-core/src/javascript.rs | 2 ++ notes/bf-2pxsu.md | 42 +++++++++++--------------- 3 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/.needle-predispatch-sha b/.needle-predispatch-sha index 4a4ce4d..7672b56 100644 --- a/.needle-predispatch-sha +++ b/.needle-predispatch-sha @@ -1 +1 @@ -641ecd024e930510088d581afc4590876c838718 +440e8fd075d6145e2e8eeceaa419bf6ef6820e2c diff --git a/crates/pdftract-core/src/javascript.rs b/crates/pdftract-core/src/javascript.rs index 5bc4fb7..804f1fb 100644 --- a/crates/pdftract-core/src/javascript.rs +++ b/crates/pdftract-core/src/javascript.rs @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ use crate::parser::catalog::Catalog; use crate::parser::object::{ObjRef, PdfObject}; use crate::parser::xref::XrefResolver; use std::sync::Arc; +use tracing::warn; /// A detected JavaScript action. #[derive(Debug, Clone)] @@ -43,6 +44,7 @@ pub fn detect_javascript( pages: &[crate::parser::pages::PageDict], resolver: &Arc, ) -> (Vec, Vec) { + warn!("JavaScript detection initiated - execution is NOT supported (per TH-04 threat model)"); let mut actions = Vec::new(); let mut diagnostics = Vec::new(); diff --git a/notes/bf-2pxsu.md b/notes/bf-2pxsu.md index 3aa7e5b..1e77542 100644 --- a/notes/bf-2pxsu.md +++ b/notes/bf-2pxsu.md @@ -2,52 +2,44 @@ ## Task Completion Summary -Successfully added warning-level logging for JavaScript execution attempts in pdftract-core's detection module. +Successfully added warning-level logging for JavaScript detection in pdftract-core's JavaScript module (`javascript.rs`).
