Foxit PDF Reader AcroForm Doc Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of AcroForms. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-23932.

According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 11.2.11. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the way Foxit Reade 2024.1.0.23997 handles a checkbox field     object. A specially crafted Javascript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger this     vulnerability, which can lead to memory corruption and result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker     needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. Exploitation is     also possible if a user visits a specially crafted, malicious site if the browser plugin extension is     enabled. (CVE-2024-28888)

  - Foxit PDF Reader Doc Object Use-After-Free Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows     remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or     open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of Doc objects. The issue results from     the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An     attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the     context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-23702. (CVE-2024-7722)

According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2024.3. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the way Foxit Reade 2024.1.0.23997 handles a checkbox field     object. A specially crafted Javascript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger this     vulnerability, which can lead to memory corruption and result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker     needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. Exploitation is     also possible if a user visits a specially crafted, malicious site if the browser plugin extension is     enabled. (CVE-2024-28888)

  - In Foxit PDF Reader before 2024.3, and PDF Editor before 2024.3 and 13.x before 13.1.4, an attacker can     replace an update file with a Trojan horse via side loading, because the update service lacks integrity     validation for the updater. Attacker-controlled code may thus be executed. (CVE-2024-41605)

  - This type of vulnerability occurs when a program continues to use a pointer to memory after it has been     freed, which can lead to various security issues. The vulnerability is likely triggered by manipulating     checkbox operations in the affected application, which could potentially an attacker to cause denial of     service (DoS) by repeatedly triggering the crash and leveraging the crash to gain unauthorized access or     execute malicious code. (CVE-2024-9243)

  - Addressed potential issues where the application could be exposed to a Use-After-Free vulnerability and     crash when handling certain checkbox field objects, Doc objects, Annotation objects, or AcroForms, which     attackers could exploit to execute remote code or disclose information. This occurs as the application     uses a wild pointer or an object that has been freed without proper validation, fails to properly     synchronize the annotation items when handling the Reply Note of an annotation using JavaScript, or fails     to correctly update the font cache after deleting a page. (CVE-2024-28888, CVE-2024-7722, CVE-2024-7723,     CVE-2024-7724, CVE-2024-7725, CVE-2024-9243, CVE-2024-9246, CVE-2024-9250, CVE-2024-9252, CVE-2024-9253,     CVE-2024-9251, CVE-2024-9254, CVE-2024-9255, CVE-2024-9256) (CVE-2024-9246, CVE-2024-9252)

  - The vulnerability could cause the application to crash when parsing certain PDF files, potentially leading     to denial of service (DoS) attacks. (CVE-2024-9250)
