Description
A use-after-free issue exists in the JavaScript engine, allowing arbitrary code execution when a specially crafted PDF document is opened. This can be triggered by tricking a user into opening a malicious file. If the browser plugin extension is enabled, visiting a malicious site can also exploit this issue.
Recommendations
For Foxit PDF Reader version 9.1.5096, consider disabling the JavaScript engine as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to malicious PDF files and avoid visiting untrusted websites with the browser plugin extension enabled.
