CVE-2017-10951

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit Reader version 8.3.0.14878

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the app.launchURL method due to the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this to execute code under the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit Reader version 8.3.0.14878, consider disabling the app.launchURL method as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
