Foxit PhantomPDF < 4.1 Code Injection (macOS)

high Nessus Plugin ID 144621

Language:

Synopsis

The remote macOS host is affected by a code injection or information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of Foxit PhantomPDF for Mac installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 4.1. It is, therefore, affected by a code injection or information disclosure vulnerability because the Hardened Runtime capability was not enabled during code signing.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Foxit PhantomPDF version 4.1 or later.
