Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.6.0.25114

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 conversion of DWG files to PDF, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can lead to a write past the end of an allocated structure, allowing an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.6.0.25114, consider disabling the DWG to PDF conversion feature until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to untrusted DWG files to minimize the risk of remote code execution.
