High CVSS 7.8

CVE-2026-57246

Foxit Pdf Editor

When dealing with abnormally constructed objects, there is a lack of argument validation; JavaScript triggers signature verification, but the signature plugin does not perform validation when copying the abnormal string, causing the application to crash.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable with local access to the machine and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
A copy without a size check overwrites memory past the buffer (classic overflow).
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
