According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor for Mac application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF for Mac) installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 11.1.5. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine of Foxit Software's PDF Reader, version     12.1.1.15289. A specially crafted PDF document can trigger the reuse of previously freed memory by     manipulating form fields of a specific type. This can lead to memory corruption and 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-2023-28744)

  - Addressed potential issues where the application could be exposed to Use-after-Free or Out-of-Bounds Read     vulnerability and crash, which could be exploited by attackers to execute remote code or disclose     information. This occurs due to the access of null pointer/wild pointer or reference to the object that     has been deleted without proper validation when handling certain JavaScripts. (CVE-2023-28744,     CVE-2023-38111, CVE-2023-38107, CVE-2023-38109, CVE-2023-38113, CVE-2023-38112, CVE-2023-38110,     CVE-2023-38117) (CVE-2023-38107, CVE-2023-38109, CVE-2023-38110, CVE-2023-38111, CVE-2023-38112,     CVE-2023-38113, CVE-2023-38117)

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