"According to its version, the Foxit PDF Reader application (previously named Foxit Reader) installed on the remote
Windows host is prior to 12.1. It is, therefore affected by vulnerability:
- This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit
PDF Reader 12.0.2.12465. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target
must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of
Annotation objects. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to
performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the
context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-19478. (CVE-2022-43649)
