Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PDF Reader version 11.2.1.53537
Description This issue allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information 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 ADBC objects, allowing an attacker to trigger a read past the end of an allocated object by performing actions in JavaScript. This can be leveraged in conjunction with other issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
Recommendations For Foxit PDF Reader version 11.2.1.53537, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling JavaScript handling in the application until a patch is available. Restrict access to malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the application to open untrusted PDF files until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
