CVE-2026-57248

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.8)—

When the application opens a PDF file and JavaScript writes annotation attributes, there is a lack of sufficient object type and argument checks. As a result, due to the damage to the internal structure of the annotations, it causes the application to crash during subsequent release.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
