Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.2.0.9297

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 handling of Array.prototype.concat. It results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can lead to a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.2.0.9297, consider disabling the handling of Array.prototype.concat as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious pages or files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
