According to its version, the Foxit PDF Reader application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2024.2.3. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - 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. (CVE-2024-7722)

  - 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.     (CVE-2024-7723, CVE-2024-7724, CVE-2024-7725)
