HighMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Foxit Studio Photo version 3.6.6.922
Description
This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the processing of NEF files due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a read past the end of an allocated structure. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.
Recommendations
For Foxit Studio Photo version 3.6.6.922, consider disabling the processing of NEF files until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to potentially malicious files and websites to minimize the risk of attack. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
