Reported by Microsoft with a patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.25%), and SSVC records exploitation status as none.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Printer Drivers on Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 allows an authenticated local attacker to gain SYSTEM-level privileges by triggering a use-after-free memory-corruption condition. The flaw grants full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) once low-level local access is obtained. Reported by Microsoft with a patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Brokering File System (bfs.sys/Bfs component) affects Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025 (including Server Core), where a use-after-free (CWE-416) lets an already-authenticated local attacker corrupt kernel/broker memory to gain SYSTEM-level privileges. Exploitation requires low privileges but high attack complexity, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Microsoft has released a patch via its MSRC update guide.
Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows App Installer (the AppX/MSIX deployment component) lets a low-privileged but authenticated user corrupt memory via a use-after-free (CWE-416) and gain higher privileges on the host. The flaw affects Windows 11 (23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025, was reported by Microsoft, and has a vendor patch available. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV, though the CVSS 7.0 rating and full C/I/A impact make it a meaningful patch-cycle priority.
Kernel memory corruption in the Zephyr RTOS (versions v1.14.0 through v4.4.0) lets an unprivileged user-mode thread corrupt the kernel's dynamic object-tracking list across the userspace security boundary. The flaw is a use-after-free race (CWE-416) in the obj_list traversal, exploitable only on builds combining CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_USERSPACE, and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_OBJECTS, and can yield privilege escalation or a kernel crash. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; a vendor patch is available.
Local privilege escalation in Imagination Technologies' Graphics DDK (PowerVR GPU driver) lets a non-privileged user trigger a use-after-free by abusing an integer overflow in GPU memory-mapping system calls. The flaw allows two GPU virtual addresses to alias the same physical page; freeing one mapping releases the page while the second dangling mapping retains read/write access, enabling cross-process memory disclosure and corruption. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.15%), but the local read/write UAF primitive is a strong stepping stone to kernel-level compromise.
Remote code execution in Google Chrome desktop before 150.0.7871.115 stems from a use-after-free in the InterestGroups component (the Protected Audience / FLEDGE ad-auction API of Privacy Sandbox), letting a remote attacker run arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. Google rates the Chromium severity High, and the CVSS 8.8 reflects network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation gated only by user interaction (visiting a page). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, though EPSS-style risk for Chrome memory-corruption bugs is typically elevated once details circulate.

A vendor patch shipped via the Chrome Stable channel update.
Remote heap corruption in Google Chrome desktop before 150.0.7871.115 stems from a use-after-free (CWE-416) in Ozone, the platform abstraction layer that mediates windowing, graphics, and input. A remote attacker who lures a victim into loading a crafted HTML page can trigger the freed-memory reuse and potentially achieve renderer-level code execution; Chromium rates the underlying flaw Critical. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the network-reachable, no-privilege, low-complexity CVSS 8.8 profile makes it a high-priority browser patch.
Heap corruption in Google Chrome's Views UI framework (versions prior to 150.0.7871.115) lets a remote attacker who lures a user into performing specific UI gestures on a crafted HTML page potentially execute code or crash the browser via a use-after-free. Google rates the Chromium severity High; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, though Chrome UAF bugs are historically attractive exploitation targets.
Heap corruption in Google Chrome's Extensions component (versions prior to 150.0.7871.115) can be triggered by a malicious browser extension exploiting a use-after-free condition, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution within the renderer or browser process. An attacker must first convince the victim to install a crafted Chrome extension, after which the freed-object reuse can be leveraged for exploitation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.10%, 1st percentile) with CISA SSVC recording no known exploitation.
Renderer-process code execution in Google Chrome desktop before 150.0.7871.115 arises from a use-after-free in the IndexedDB implementation, letting a remote attacker run arbitrary code within the Chromium sandbox when a victim opens a crafted HTML page. Chromium rated the flaw Medium severity even though the CVSS base score is 8.8, reflecting that execution is confined to the sandboxed renderer rather than the host. A vendor patch is available and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader allows a crafted PDF to crash the application when its embedded JavaScript resets annotation status and then triggers a reset-form additional action, causing the parser to re-enter and dereference freed objects.

Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor allows a crafted PDF to crash the application when its embedded JavaScript deletes pages and removes attachment annotations while the attachment panel still references freed pointers. A victim must open the malicious document (UI:R), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Although the reported behavior is an application crash, Foxit's own CVSS scoring rates confidentiality, integrity, and availability all High, implying potential for code execution beyond denial of service.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Editor (≤14.0.4, ≤13.2.4, ≤2026.1.1) and Foxit PDF Reader (≤2026.1.1) allows an attacker to corrupt object state and read an illegal memory address when a victim opens a crafted PDF that manipulates form-field properties via embedded JavaScript. The immediate observed impact is an application crash (denial of service), but the CWE-416 root cause and the vendor's CVSS confidentiality/integrity ratings indicate potential for arbitrary code execution in the context of the user. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Editor (≤14.0.4) and Foxit PDF Reader (≤2026.1.1) allows a crafted PDF containing malicious form-reset JavaScript to trigger a stale control-pointer dereference, crashing the application and potentially enabling arbitrary code execution in the victim's context. Exploitation requires the user to open a booby-trapped document; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Foxit, the reporting vendor, has issued a security bulletin covering the affected versions.

A vendor patch is available and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader allows a crafted PDF to crash the application when its embedded JavaScript resets annotation status and then triggers a reset-form additional action, causing the parser to re-enter and dereference freed objects. Local victims who open a malicious document are affected; the CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor allows a crafted PDF to crash the application when its embedded JavaScript deletes pages and removes attachment annotations while the attachment panel still references freed pointers. A victim must open the malicious document (UI:R), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Although the reported behavior is an application crash, Foxit's own CVSS scoring rates confidentiality, integrity, and availability all High, implying potential for code execution beyond denial of service.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Editor (≤14.0.4, ≤13.2.4, ≤2026.1.1) and Foxit PDF Reader (≤2026.1.1) allows an attacker to corrupt object state and read an illegal memory address when a victim opens a crafted PDF that manipulates form-field properties via embedded JavaScript. The immediate observed impact is an application crash (denial of service), but the CWE-416 root cause and the vendor's CVSS confidentiality/integrity ratings indicate potential for arbitrary code execution in the context of the user. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Foxit PDF Editor (≤14.0.4) and Foxit PDF Reader (≤2026.1.1) allows a crafted PDF containing malicious form-reset JavaScript to trigger a stale control-pointer dereference, crashing the application and potentially enabling arbitrary code execution in the victim's context. Exploitation requires the user to open a booby-trapped document; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Foxit, the reporting vendor, has issued a security bulletin covering the affected versions.
Use-after-free during PDF field processing in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader allows a crafted document to delete the current page and then reuse now-dangling field objects, causing an illegal memory read and application crash. Affects Foxit PDF Editor through 14.0.4 / 2026.1.1 and Foxit PDF Reader through 2026.1.1; exploitation requires a user to open a malicious PDF. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV; vendor (Foxit) reported it and tags it primarily as denial of service / memory corruption.
