According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 12.1.8. 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. Was ZDI-CAN-23702. (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. Was ZDI-CAN-23736.
    (CVE-2024-7723)

  - 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-23900.
    (CVE-2024-7724)

  - 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-23928.
    (CVE-2024-7725)

  - In Foxit PDF Reader before 2024.3, and PDF Editor before 2024.3 and 13.x before 13.1.4, an attacker can     replace an update file with a Trojan horse via side loading, because the update service lacks integrity     validation for the updater. Attacker-controlled code may thus be executed. (CVE-2024-41605)

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

According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 13.1.4. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In Foxit PDF Reader before 2024.3, and PDF Editor before 2024.3 and 13.x before 13.1.4, an attacker can     replace an update file with a Trojan horse via side loading, because the update service lacks integrity     validation for the updater. Attacker-controlled code may thus be executed. (CVE-2024-41605)

  - Addressed potential issues where the application could be exposed to a Use-After-Free vulnerability and     crash when handling certain checkbox field objects, Annotation objects, or AcroForms, which attackers     could exploit to execute remote code or disclose information. This occurs as the application uses a wild     pointer or an object that has been freed without proper validation, fails to properly synchronize the     annotation items when handling the Reply Note of an annotation using JavaScript, or fails to correctly     update the font cache after deleting a page. (CVE-2024-28888, CVE-2024-9243, CVE-2024-9246, CVE-2024-9250,     CVE-2024-9252, CVE-2024-9253, CVE-2024-9251, CVE-2024-9254, CVE-2024-9255, CVE-2024-9256) (CVE-2024-28888)

  - Addressed potential issues where the application could be exposed to a Privilege Escalation vulnerability     when performing an update or installing a plugin, which attackers could exploit to delete arbitrary files     or execute arbitrary code so as to carry out privilege escalation attacks. This occurs due to the     incorrect permission assignment on the resources used by the update service, improper signature validation     and incomplete certificate check for the updater, weak randomness setting for the name of the temporary     folder during a plugin installation, or improper DLL loading without using the built-in manifest file.
    (CVE-2024-9245, CVE-2024-9244, CVE-2024-38393) (CVE-2024-38393)
