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
getPageNumWords method, and by performing actions in JavaScript, an attacker can trigger a type confusion condition, allowing them 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
getPageNumWords method until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious files and web pages to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.RCE
