CVE-2026-57246 Details
Description
When dealing with abnormally constructed objects, there is a lack of argument validation; JavaScript triggers signature verification, but the signature plugin does not perform validation when copying the abnormal string, causing the application to crash.
A buffer copy vulnerability has been identified in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor. This issue arises from the application's failure to properly validate arguments when handling certain PDFs with abnormal signature fields or annotation objects. As a result, the application can crash, and there is a potential for arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is present in Foxit PDF Reader versions 2026.1.1.36485 and earlier, as well as in Foxit PDF Editor versions 2026.1.1.36485 and all previous 2026.x, 2025.x, 2024.x, 2023.x, 14.x and 13.x versions prior to 13.2.4.24048.
Users can update to the latest versions of Foxit PDF Reader or Foxit PDF Editor. Instructions for updating are available on the Foxit website.
