An exploitable type confusion vulnerability exists in the way Foxit PDF Reader version 9.0.1.1049 parses files with associated file annotations. A specially crafted PDF document can lead to an object of invalid type to be dereferenced, which can potentially lead to sensitive memory disclosure, and possibly to arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. If the browser plugin extension is enabled, visiting a malicious site can also trigger the vulnerability.

According to its version, the Foxit PhantomPDF application (formally known as Phantom) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 9.1. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In Foxit Reader before 9.1 and Foxit PhantomPDF before 9.1, a flaw exists within the parsing of the     BITMAPINFOHEADER record in BMP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the biSize     member, which can result in a heap based buffer overflow. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in     the context of the current process. (CVE-2017-17557)

  - An exploitable use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine of Foxit Software's Foxit PDF     Reader version 8.3.2.25013. A specially crafted PDF document can trigger a previously freed object in     memory to be reused, resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user to open     the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. If the browser plugin extension is enabled, visiting a     malicious site can also trigger the vulnerability. (CVE-2017-14458)

  - An exploitable use of an uninitialized pointer vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine in Foxit PDF     Reader version 9.0.1.1049. A specially crafted PDF document can lead to a dereference of an uninitialized     pointer which, if under attacker control, can result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to     trick the user to open a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. If the browser plugin extension is     enabled, visiting a malicious site can also trigger the vulnerability. (CVE-2018-3842)

  - An exploitable use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine of Foxit Software Foxit PDF     Reader version 9.0.1.1049. A specially crafted PDF document can trigger a previously freed object in     memory to be reused resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user to open the     malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. If the browser plugin extension is enabled, visiting a     malicious site can also trigger the vulnerability. (CVE-2018-3853)

  - A use-after-free in Foxit Reader before 9.1 and PhantomPDF before 9.1 allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code, aka iDefense ID V-jyb51g3mv9. (CVE-2018-10302)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
