According to its version, the Foxit PDF Reader application (previously named Foxit Reader) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2024.1. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In Foxit PDF Reader before 2024.1 and PDF Editor before 2024.1, code execution via JavaScript could occur     because of an unoptimized prompt message for users to review parameters of commands. (CVE-2024-25858)

  - Foxit PDF Reader AcroForm 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-22499.
    (CVE-2024-30322)

  - Foxit PDF Reader Doc Object 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 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 vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22576.
    (CVE-2024-30324)
