Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PDF Reader version 11.0.1.0719

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 handling of XFA forms due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, potentially resulting in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this, in conjunction with other issues, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit PDF Reader version 11.0.1.0719, consider disabling the handling of XFA forms 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.
