MD5 is incredibly broken. The PDF file PoC||GTFO 0x14 (https://dl.packetstormsecurity.net/mag/pocgtfo/pocorgtfo14.p..., 42MB large) is a PDF file that can be also run in a NES emulator, and will display its own MD5 hash. The MD5 hash is also shown in the pdf document itself. (Don't download it from archive.org, their copy is altered)

The fact that any document can contain its own MD5 hash embedded in there should be hugely concerning enough.

The hash also happens to start with 5EAF00D.
