The application's update service, when checking for updates, loads certain system libraries from a search path that includes directories writable by low‑privileged users and is not strictly restricted to trusted system locations. Because these libraries may be resolved and loaded from user‑writable locations, a local attacker can place a malicious library there and have it loaded with SYSTEM privileges, resulting in local privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution.

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the PDF parsing of Foxit PDF Reader when processing specially crafted JBIG2 data. An integer overflow in the calculation of the image buffer size may occur, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the annotation handling of Foxit PDF Reader before 2025.2.1, 14.0.1, and 13.2.1 on Windows and MacOS. 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.

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the PDF file parsing of Foxit PDF Reader before 2025.2.1, 14.0.1, and 13.2.1 on Windows. A PDF object managed by multiple parent objects could be freed while still being referenced, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

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.

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Foxit PDF Reader/Editor Update Service. During plugin installation, incorrect file system permissions are assigned to resources used by the update service. A local attacker with low privileges could modify or replace these resources, which are later executed by the service, resulting in execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
