**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.7.2.29539 **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 `NodeProperties::InferReceiverMapsUnsafe` method due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a type confusion condition. This can be leveraged to execute code in the context of the current process. **Recommendations** For Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.7.2.29539, consider disabling the `NodeProperties::InferReceiverMapsUnsafe` method as a temporary workaround 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.
