According to its version, the Foxit PDF SDK ActiveX application installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 5.5.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a lack of security permission control which could allow LaunchURL actions and links to execute programs without a user’s consent. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2018-19418, CVE-2018-19445, CVE-2018-19450, CVE-2018-19451)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a lack of security permission control which could allow javascript and exportasFDF to write arbitrary files without a user’s consent. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2018-19446, CVE-2018-19449)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a stack buffer overflow in string1 URI parsing. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-19447)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free occurring when a javascript command is triggered by a mouse enter action or focus loss. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-19452, CVE-2018-19444)
A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to an uninitialized object reference as a result of a timer not ending when a form loses focus. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted file, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-19448)
