CVE-2023-41257
Estado: ModificadaAlta (8.8)—
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.

"value": "Existe una vulnerabilidad de confusión de tipos en la forma en que Foxit Reader 12.1.2.15356 maneja las propiedades de los valores de los campos. Un código Javascript especialmente manipulado dentro de un documento PDF malicioso puede desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad, lo que puede provocar daños en la memoria y provocar la ejecución de código arbitrario. Un atacante debe engañar al usuario para que abra el archivo malicioso para desencadenar esta vulnerabilidad. La explotación también es posible si un usuario visita un sitio malicioso especialmente manipulado si la extensión del complemento del navegador está habilitada."
