CVE-2025-66493

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the AcroForm handling of Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor before 2025.2.1,14.0.1 and 13.2.1

on Windows

. When opening a PDF containing specially crafted JavaScript, a pointer to memory that has already been freed may be accessed or dereferenced, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 7.8

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.30%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 21
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

ExplotaciónT1203 Exploitation for Client Executionexecution95 %
Impacto principalT1059 Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 %

AV:L + UI:R (abrir PDF con JavaScript preparado) → T1203 (ejecución en cliente). Use-after-free en AcroForm permite ejecución arbitraria de código (T1059).

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
