- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Foxit Reader 2024.2.0.25138. The vulnerability occurs
due to improper certification validation of the updater executable before executing it. A low privilege
user can trigger the update action which can result in unexpected elevation of privilege. (CVE-2024-29072)
