CVE-2026-57243 Details
Description
During the process of page opening and form formatting, a JavaScript reentrancy results in an inconsistent document status. Subsequently, with outdated page information, the application attempts to access invalid addresses, causing the application to crash.
A vulnerability allowing out-of-bounds read operations has been identified in multiple Foxit products, including Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor, all prior to version 2026.1.2. This vulnerability arises when the application processes certain PDFs with abnormal page structures, image objects, or color spaces. The issue can cause the application to access invalid memory addresses, leading to a crash. Additionally, this vulnerability could be exploited to disclose information, as the improper handling of PDF content may allow sensitive data to be accessed or leaked.
Users can update to Foxit PDF Reader 2026.1.2 or Foxit PDF Editor 2026.1.2. Instructions for updating are available on the Foxit website.
