Foxit PDF Editor vulnerabilities

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the installer of Foxit PDF Editor for macOS due to insufficient validation of a user-modifiable configuration value during high-privilege upgrades. A local attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

In Foxit PDF and Editor for Windows and macOS before 13.2 and 2025 before 2025.2, a crafted PDF can use JavaScript to alter annotation content and then clear the file's modification status. This circumvents digital signature verification by hiding document modifications.

In Foxit PDF and Editor for Windows and macOS before 13.2 and 2025 before 2025.2, an attacker able to alter or replace the static HTML files used by the StartPage feature can cause the application to load malicious or compromised content at startup.

In Foxit PDF and Editor for Windows before 13.2 and 2025 before 2025.2, opening a malicious PDF containing a crafted JavaScript call to search.query() with a crafted cDIPath parameter (e.g., "/") may cause an out-of-bounds read in internal path-parsing logic, potentially leading to information disclosure or memory corruption.
