CVE-2017-10952

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit Reader version 8.2.0.2051

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 saveAs JavaScript function due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can lead to writing arbitrary files into attacker-controlled locations, allowing an attacker to execute code under the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit Reader version 8.2.0.2051, consider disabling the saveAs JavaScript function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious files and websites to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
