Foxit · Foxit Pdf Reader · CVE-2021-34975
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Foxit PDF Reader (affected versions not specified)
Foxit PhantomPDF (affected versions not specified)
**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 implementation of the `transitionToState` method, resulting from the lack of validation of an object's existence before performing operations on it. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.
**Recommendations**
For Foxit PDF Reader, consider disabling the `transitionToState` method until a patch is available.
For Foxit PhantomPDF, restrict access to the `transitionToState` method to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
