Hi team,
Consider the following example, which can trigger an alert popup when inline PDFs are unsupported (like on mobile devices):
The issue arises because PDFObject uses
innerHTMLto insert concatenated fallbackHTML, which could lead to XSS vulnerabilities. For more information, refer to pipwerks/PDFObject#296This can be seen in the code at the following locations:

I think we should sanitize the URL before passing it to
PDFObject.embed. This approach should fix the problem.
