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 Reader version 10.1.1.37576
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 handling of XFA forms due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a write past the end of an allocated data structure, allowing an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
Recommendations
For Foxit Reader version 10.1.1.37576, consider disabling the handling of XFA forms as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
