  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor for Mac application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF for Mac) installed
on the remote macOS host is prior to 11.1.10. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the way Foxit Reade 2024.1.0.23997 handles a checkbox field
    object. A specially crafted Javascript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger this
    vulnerability, which can lead to memory corruption and result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker
    needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. Exploitation is
    also possible if a user visits a specially crafted, malicious site if the browser plugin extension is
    enabled. (CVE-2024-28888)

  - Foxit PDF Reader AcroForm Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows
    remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. 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 AcroForms. 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-23928.
    (CVE-2024-7725)

  - The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied data when processing AcroForms in PDF
    documents, and due to this lack of proper validation, the application can read past the end of an
    allocated buffer, resulting in an Out-of-Bounds Read condition. This improper handling can lead to
    application crashes, which attackers could potentially exploit for denial of service or, in some cases,
    remote code execution. (CVE-2024-9254)

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