Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Foxit PDF Reader version 11.2.1.53537

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 deletePages method, enabling an attacker to trigger a read past the end of an allocated object by performing actions in JavaScript. This can be leveraged in conjunction with other issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For Foxit PDF Reader version 11.2.1.53537, consider disabling the deletePages method as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to JavaScript actions that could trigger the out-of-bounds read to minimize the risk of exploitation.
