CVE-2026-91817
A heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Foxit PDF Editor/Reader’s handling of wide strings in embedded PDF JavaScript. Insufficient validation of string-deletion ranges can cause an integer underflow, resulting in an out-of-bounds read and application crash.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 6.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.11%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 1
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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).
