Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit Reader version 9.1.0.5096

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 parsing of PDF documents, specifically by manipulating a document's elements to cause a pointer to be reused after it has been freed, allowing an attacker to execute code under the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit Reader version 9.1.0.5096, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as the current version allows for remote code execution due to a use-after-free flaw in PDF parsing. As a temporary workaround, avoid opening suspicious PDF files or visiting untrusted websites to minimize the risk of exploitation.
