According to its version, the Foxit PDF Reader application (previously named Foxit Reader) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2023.3. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the way Foxit Reader 12.1.2.15356 handles 3D annotations. A     specially crafted Javascript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger reuse of a previously freed     object, which can lead to memory corruption and result in 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-2023-32616)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the way Foxit Reader 12.1.2.15356 handles a signature field. A     specially crafted Javascript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger reuse of a previously freed     object, which can lead to memory corruption and result in 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-2023-38573)

  - A type confusion vulnerability exists in the way Foxit Reader 12.1.2.15356 handles field value properties.
    A specially crafted Javascript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger this vulnerability, which     can lead to memory corruption and result in 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-2023-41257)

  - An arbitrary file creation vulnerability exists in the Javascript exportDataObject API of Foxit Reader     12.1.3.15356 due to a failure to properly validate a dangerous extension. A specially crafted malicious     file can create files at arbitrary locations, which can lead to 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-2023-35985)

  - An arbitrary file creation vulnerability exists in the Javascript exportDataObject API of Foxit Reader     12.1.3.15356 due to mistreatment of whitespace characters. A specially crafted malicious file can create     files at arbitrary locations, which can lead to 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-2023-40194)

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