Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-2789 is a local privilege escalation issue in Foxit Reader's Cloud plugin updater. An already-local user could abuse an unquoted Windows service path behavior to run a malicious program from the system drive and gain higher privileges. Exposure is most likely on Windows endpoints still running Foxit Reader 6.1 through 7.0.6.1126 with the Cloud plugin and its update service installed. Internet exposure is not indicated; this is a local post-access privilege escalation issue. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hardening item, not an internet emergency. Prioritize systems where standard users access shared workstations, remote desktops, or sensitive business applications. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Foxit Reader 6.1 through 7.0.6.1126.; Check Foxit's FRD-25 security bulletin for vendor-approved update guidance.; Upgrade or remove affected Foxit Reader versions where business use permits..
