Foxit: Security Vulnerabilities
The application allows PDF JavaScript and document/print actions (such as WillPrint/DidPrint) to update form fields, annotations, or optional content groups (OCGs) immediately before or after redaction, encryption, or printing. These script‑driven updates are not fully covered by the existing redaction, encryption, and printing logic, which, under specific document structures and user workflows, may cause a small amount of sensitive content to remain unremoved or unencrypted as expected, or result in printed output that slightly differs from what was reviewed on screen.

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.

The application does not validate the presence of required appearance (AP) data before accessing stamp annotation resources. When a PDF contains a stamp annotation missing its AP entry, the code continues to dereference the associated object without a prior null or validity check, which allows a crafted document to trigger a null pointer dereference and crash the application, resulting in denial of service.

The application does not properly validate the lifetime and validity of internal view cache pointers after JavaScript changes the document zoom and page state. When a script modifies the zoom property and then triggers a page change, the original view object may be destroyed while stale pointers are still kept and later dereferenced, which under crafted JavaScript and document structures can lead to a use-after-free condition and potentially allow arbitrary code execution.

The application does not detect or guard against cyclic PDF object references while handling JavaScript in PDF. When pages and annotations are crafted that reference each other in a loop, passing the document to APIs (e.g., SOAP) that perform deep traversal can cause uncontrolled recursion, stack exhaustion, and application crashes.

URL parameters are directly embedded into JavaScript code or HTML attributes without proper encoding or sanitization. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary scripts when an authenticated user visits a crafted link.
This issue affects na1.foxitesign.foxit.com: before 2026‑01‑16.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Portfolio feature of the Foxit PDF Editor cloud (pdfonline.foxit.com). User-supplied SVG files are not properly sanitized or validated before being inserted into the HTML structure. As a result, embedded HTML or JavaScript within a crafted SVG may execute whenever the Portfolio file list is rendered.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in pdfonline.foxit.com within the Trusted Certificates feature. A crafted payload can be injected as the certificate name, which is later rendered into the DOM without proper sanitization. As a result, the injected script executes each time the Trusted Certificates view is loaded.
