CVE-2018-7407: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2018-7407: An issue was discovered in Foxit Reader before 9.1 and PhantomPDF before 9.1.

An issue was discovered in Foxit Reader before 9.1 and PhantomPDF before 9.1. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists when rendering U3D images inside of pdf files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-7407 affects Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 9.1. If a user opens a malicious PDF or visits a malicious page, an attacker could run code in that user's application context. This is a business concern where older Foxit desktop PDF software is still deployed. Exposure is most likely on endpoints with Foxit Reader or PhantomPDF versions earlier than 9.1, especially where users receive PDFs by email, web download, or shared document repositories. Treat this as a high-priority legacy endpoint risk if Foxit versions before 9.1 remain in use. The main urgency is eliminating outdated PDF software that can turn routine document handling into code execution. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF installations to version 9.1 or later.; Check Foxit security bulletins for current fixed builds and vendor guidance.; Prioritize endpoints that routinely handle external PDFs..
