Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.5.0.20723

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 processing of Javascript in the HTML2PDF plugin due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data.
