| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires interacting with Foxit's official website HTML-to-PDF conversion service, which uses a shared token for submitted conversion documents; an unauthenticated remote attacker who obtains or reuses that shared token can access documents other users submitted to the service. No authentication, privileges, or user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L). The principal limiting factor is scope: this affects only documents processed through Foxit's hosted online converter - organizations not using that service are not exposed - and the vendor reports the service remediated as of 2026-10-29, so the exposure window is bounded to before that fix. |
| Impact | The signals point to a moderate, confidentiality-only issue rather than a critical emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - consistent with CWE-639 broken access control via a shared token. No EPSS score was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV and there is no POC or exploit reference in the input (only the vendor's security-bulletins landing page), so exploitation status is: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', indicating prompt but non-emergency remediation. A key contextual qualifier: the affected asset is Foxit's own hosted HTML-to-PDF conversion service (cpe foxit.com), not software deployed in customer environments - so the fix is server-side and, per the EUVD data, the service was remediated as of 2026-10-29. For most organizations this is therefore a data-exposure concern about documents they may have submitted to Foxit's online converter, not a patch-your-fleet action. Real priority is moderate: genuine unauthenticated confidentiality exposure of potentially sensitive uploaded documents, but bounded to a single vendor service that the vendor reports as already addressed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user submits a document to Foxit's online HTML-to-PDF conversion service; because a shared token governs access to submitted documents, an unauthorized remote user is able to reference or reuse that token and retrieve PDFs submitted by other users. Exploitation requires no authentication and no user interaction (PR:N/UI:N) and is low complexity (AC:L). No public exploit code is identified in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Foxit's hosted HTML-to-PDF conversion service used a shared token for submitted documents, so an unauthenticated remote attacker who obtained or reused that token could access conversions submitted by other users (CWE-639). The exposure is limited to documents processed through Foxit's online converter before the vendor's 2026-10-29 remediation, with confidentiality-only impact; no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No customer-installed patch applies to this hosted-service flaw; Foxit reports the conversion service remediated as of 2026-10-29, and confirmation should be taken from the vendor security bulletin at https://www.foxit.com/support/security-bulletins.html. Confirm that any HTML-to-PDF workflow is using the remediated service, and review documents submitted before that date as potentially exposed because shared-token access could have allowed other users to retrieve them. If remediation cannot be confirmed, do not submit confidential documents to the hosted converter; no additional workaround or compensating control is specified in the available data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an authorization bypass through user-controlled key (CWE-639) in the web service that converts HTML to PDF on Foxit's website. Submitted conversion documents were associated with a shared token rather than per-user authorization, so an attacker with that token could reach documents belonging to other users. The supplied CPE cpe:2.3:a:foxit_software_inc.:foxit.com:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the hosted foxit.com service, and EUVD lists foxit.com before 2026-10-29 as affected. The assessed CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms network reachability with no privileges or user interaction and a confidentiality-only impact.

DescriptionCVE.org
A broken access control vulnerability exists in the Foxit official website’s HTML-to-PDF conversion service due to the use of a shared token for submitted conversion documents. This may allow unauthorized users to access documents submitted by other users.
Executive ViewAI
Foxit's hosted HTML-to-PDF conversion service exposed documents submitted by one customer to other users through a shared access token, creating a confidentiality risk for any organization that sent sensitive content through the online converter before 2026-10-29. Leadership should care because affected documents may include confidential business content, contracts, or regulated data whose unauthorized exposure could trigger notification obligations and reputational harm.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include discontinuing use of Foxit's hosted HTML-to-PDF converter, redirecting conversions to on-premises or self-hosted tooling, and reviewing prior submissions for sensitive content pending vendor confirmation of remediation.
