"According to its version, the Foxit PDF Reader application (previously named Foxit Reader) installed on the remote
Windows host is prior to 2025.2.1. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Addressed potential issues where the application could deliver incorrect signature verification
    information when handling certain signed documents that contain JavaScripts, which attackers could exploit
    to manipulate document content and deceive users into trusting the manipulated documents. This occurs as
    the application fails to perform proper validation of cryptographic signatures after the visibility of
    certain optional content groups is dynamically altered by JavaScripts or triggers during the post-signing
    phase. (CVE-2025-59802)

  - Address a potential issue where the application could be exposed to a Signature-Based Trust Bypass
    vulnerability when handling certain documents that are embedded with specific triggers in the signing
    phase, which attackers could exploit to deceive users into signing the manipulated documents. This occurs
    as the application fails to explicitly prompt users after the self-modification action is triggered to
    modify the document during the pre-signing phase. (CVE-2025-59803)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
