Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit Reader version 9.0.1.1049
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 closeDoc method, and by performing actions in JavaScript, an attacker can trigger a type confusion condition, leveraging this to execute code under the context of the current process.
Recommendations For Foxit Reader version 9.0.1.1049, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the closeDoc method until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
