CVE-2026-57237 Details
Description
When the application opens a PDF and JavaScript modifies the properties of form fields, it causes the state of the underlying objects referenced by the program to become invalid. Eventually, it reads an illegal memory address, which leads to the crash of the application.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor for Windows and Mac. This vulnerability occurs when the application processes PDFs containing certain JavaScript that modifies form field properties. The alteration causes the state of the underlying objects to become invalid, leading the application to read an illegal memory address. This memory access violation causes the application to crash and creates an opportunity for attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Users can update to the latest versions of Foxit PDF Reader or Foxit PDF Editor. For Windows, the updated versions can be downloaded from the Foxit website or via the application's update feature. For Mac, the latest versions are also available on the Foxit website.
