Document-content spoofing via inconsistent PDF layer flattening
Published Dec 4, 2024 · Updated Jan 6, 2025
UI misrepresentation in Docusign through 2024-12-04 allows attackers to spoof signed PDF content through crafted layered documents. The signing display omits content that appears when Docusign separately flattens PDF layers for print and combined or uncombined downloads. An attacker must supply a layered document and induce a recipient to review, sign, download, or print it; the consequence is misrepresented document content, not code execution or service interruption.
