| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Foxit Reader version 9.5.0.20723
Description
This issue allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information 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 processing of the
util.printf Javascript method, specifically with the %p parameter in the format string, allowing heap addresses to be returned to the script. An attacker can leverage this, in conjunction with other issues, to execute code in the context of the current process.Recommendations
For Foxit Reader version 9.5.0.20723, consider disabling the
util.printf Javascript method 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 issue.Fix
Use of Externally-Controlled Format String
