CVE-2026-57255 Details
Description
The application opens a PDF containing an abnormal color space whose attributes reference a valid but semantically malformed function. The function's output is not validated; when subsequently read, it produces an illegal pointer that accesses an out-of-bounds region, crashing the application.
A vulnerability exists in Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor for Windows and Mac, specifically in versions prior to 2026.1.2. The issue arises when the application processes certain PDFs with abnormal color spaces, which reference a valid but semantically incorrect function. This function's output is not properly validated, leading to the generation of an illegal pointer that accesses an out-of-bounds region, causing the application to crash. This vulnerability could potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
Users can update to Foxit PDF Reader or Foxit PDF Editor version 2026.1.2. For Foxit PDF Editor for Mac, version 14.0.5 is available. Instructions for updating or downloading the latest versions are available on the Foxit website.
