Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Kofax Power PDF (affected versions not specified)

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. User interaction is required to exploit this, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
