CVE-2024-25938: Use-After-Free in Foxit Reader allows for potential code execution. This vulnerability exists in how Foxit Reader 2024.1.0.23997 processes Barcode widgets. A malicious PDF containing specially crafted JavaScript can trigger the reuse of freed memory, leading to memory corruption and arbitrary code execution. An attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into opening a malicious PDF file or visiting a malicious website if the Foxit Reader browser plugin is enabled. While the CVSS score is 0, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30. Although this isn't critical, the use-after-free vulnerability can be exploited if a user interacts with malicious content, posing a risk to system integrity. Immediate patching is recommended to mitigate potential threats.
