Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PhantomPDF version 10.1.0.37527

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 parsing of JPEG2000 images due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, resulting in a read past the end of an allocated structure. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit PhantomPDF version 10.1.0.37527, consider disabling the parsing of JPEG2000 images until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. 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 vulnerability.
