Foxit · Foxit Reader · CVE-2018-1176
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Foxit Reader version 9.0.0.29935 **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 ePub files due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a write past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this to execute code under the context of the current process. **Recommendations** For Foxit Reader version 9.0.0.29935, consider disabling the parsing of ePub files as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
