Foxit Pdf Editor

Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor (versions 2026.1.1/14.0.4 and earlier) allows a crafted PDF containing embedded JavaScript to free page objects and trigger a dangling write to pop-up annotation objects. An attacker who convinces a user to open a malicious document can crash the application and potentially achieve arbitrary code execution in the user's context. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the flaw was reported privately by Foxit.

Denial-of-service (and potential memory-corruption) in Foxit PDF Editor (≤14.0.4 / ≤13.2.4 / ≤2026.1.1) and Foxit PDF Reader (≤2026.1.1) arises when a crafted PDF's embedded JavaScript rewrites the document to alter the page structure, freeing the underlying page objects while the thumbnail renderer continues to reference them - a classic use-after-free (CWE-416). A victim who merely opens the file triggers the dangling reference, causing an application crash and, given the CVSS confidentiality/integrity impact, a plausible path to code execution. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Denial-of-service in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor (versions 2026.1.1 and earlier) occurs when a victim opens a crafted PDF whose embedded JavaScript deletes the current page, after which subsequent scripts dereference now-freed document-view properties and crash the application. This is a CWE-416 use-after-free reported by Foxit; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV. The documented impact is an application crash, though the underlying memory-corruption class warrants caution about potential escalation.

Local privilege escalation in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader (Windows) lets a low-privileged user place executable files that a high-privilege process later runs directly, yielding code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The flaw stems from an untrusted search path (CWE-427) where the application loads and executes attacker-writable binaries without validating their origin. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.11%, 2nd percentile), and SSVC reports no observed exploitation, so this is a locally-exploitable escalation rather than a remotely wormable threat.

Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor lets a crafted PDF containing JavaScript trigger stale field-pointer dereferences after the script deletes form fields, corrupting memory and crashing the application. The flaw affects Foxit PDF Editor 14.0.4 and earlier and Foxit PDF Reader 2026.1.1 and earlier and requires the victim to open a malicious file. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; Foxit's own CVSS of 7.8 (C:H/I:H/A:H) implies potential code execution beyond the crash described.

Memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor (versions 2026.1.1, 13.2.4, 14.0.4 and earlier) allows attackers to crash the application and potentially corrupt memory when a victim opens a malicious PDF whose embedded JavaScript walks a deliberately damaged form-field tree. The bug is a use-after-free (CWE-416): field traversal leaves the program holding a freed/invalid form object, and dereferencing that invalid pointer causes the crash. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; disclosure originates from Foxit's own security bulletin.

Memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor allows a crafted PDF to trigger a use-after-free through the embedded JavaScript engine, where a form field object is deleted and then re-accessed, crashing the application. The flaw affects PDF Editor through 13.2.4, 14.0.4, and 2026.1.1, and PDF Reader through 2026.1.1, and was reported by Foxit. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though CVSS scores the impact as high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, implying potential exploitation beyond a simple crash.

Out-of-bounds read in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader allows a local attacker to crash the application and potentially expose adjacent memory contents by delivering a specially crafted PDF containing malicious JavaScript. The JavaScript manipulates page and document objects to desynchronize internal page-related state from the renderer's trusted page count; when the renderer subsequently accesses page objects using the stale index, it reads beyond valid memory bounds. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing, but the broad affected version ranges across multiple major release branches (13.x, 14.x, and 2026.x) means a large proportion of unpatched Foxit deployments are exposed.

Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader (2026.1.1 and earlier) and Foxit PDF Editor (through 14.0.4, 13.2.4, and 2026.1.1) allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or crash the application when a victim opens a maliciously crafted PDF. The flaw stems from JavaScript-driven form modifications that leave page-related objects with incomplete lifecycle management, so the application dereferences freed/invalid objects on page-state changes. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; while the description emphasizes a crash, the CVSS vector rates full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, consistent with exploitable memory corruption.

Foxit PDF Reader and PDF Editor crash with potential memory disclosure when processing maliciously crafted PDF documents containing JavaScript that causes reentrancy during page opening or form formatting. The reentrancy leaves the document object in an inconsistent state; when the application subsequently attempts to dereference stale page metadata, it reads from an invalid memory address (CWE-125 out-of-bounds read), resulting in application termination and limited memory content exposure. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; exploitation requires a local user interaction to open a crafted PDF file.

Memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader (≤2026.1.1) and Foxit PDF Editor (≤14.0.4, ≤13.2.4, and ≤2026.1.1) allows an attacker to trigger a use-after-free when a victim opens a maliciously crafted PDF whose hyperlink annotation objects use abnormal relationships and field combinations. The flaw manifests as an invalid pointer write during object destruction; while the vendor description only confirms an application crash, the vendor-assigned CVSS (C:H/I:H/A:H) and CWE-416 classification indicate potential for arbitrary code execution. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Memory-corruption (buffer overflow) in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor arises when the digital-signature plugin processes abnormally constructed signature objects: JavaScript triggers signature verification, but the plugin copies an anomalous string without validating its arguments, corrupting memory. A local victim who opens a crafted PDF is affected, and while the vendor describes the outcome as an application crash, the CVSS High confidentiality/integrity/availability impacts indicate potential for code execution. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Memory-corruption crash (and potential code execution) in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor occurs when a PDF's embedded JavaScript writes annotation attributes without sufficient object-type and argument validation, corrupting the internal annotation structure so the application faults during subsequent object release (CWE-763).
