"The version of PDF-XChange Editor installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 10.4.1.389. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of
    PDF-XChange Editor. 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. (CVE-2025-0899)

  - A vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of
    PDF-XChange Editor. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must
    visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. (CVE-2025-0901)

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