According to its version, the Foxit Reader application installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 10.1.3. It is, therefore affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability, which can be exploited to cause remote code execution.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
