Overview

Foxit PDF Reader before 11.2.2 and PDF Editor before 11.2.2, and PhantomPDF before 10.1.8, were found to contain a vulnerability related to the handling of cross-reference information during compressed-object parsing within signed documents (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 5.5 (Medium) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N.
