Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.7.1.29511

Description This issue allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations. User interaction is required to exploit this, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the handling of U3D objects embedded in a PDF, resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can lead to a read past the end of an allocated object, and an attacker can leverage this, in conjunction with other issues, to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit PhantomPDF version 9.7.1.29511, consider disabling the handling of U3D objects embedded in PDFs as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to 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.
