Synopsis

A PDF toolkit installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

According to its version, the Foxit PhantomPDF application (formally known as Phantom) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 10.1.11. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

This occurs due to the use of object or pointer that has been freed when executing certain JavaScripts in PDF files. (CVE-2022-43649) (CVE-2022-43649)

 - Addressed potential issues where the application could be exposed to Use-after-Free vulnerability and crash, which could be exploited by attackers to execute remote code.
