Analyze CVE-2026-91789 with Vani AIImpact, affected versions, exploitation status, mitigations and detection

Foxit PDF Editor/Reader contains a vulnerability in its U3D/GIF texture decoding path that lacks sufficient validation of image dimensions and size information. This flaw can cause incorrect memory allocation and a subsequent out-of-bounds write during pixel processing, potentially leading to remote code execution. An attacker could potentially exploit this to gain remote access or execute arbitrary code. The affected product is Foxit PDF Editor/Reader, and the current exploitation status is none known.

What to do: Upgrade to patched versions of Foxit PDF Editor/Reader. Implement strict image dimension and size validation, disable U3D/GIF texture decoding paths, and enforce strict memory bounds to prevent out-of-bounds writes. Regularly audit deployed plugins and verify exposure of sensitive processing paths.

Estimated exposure
nicheniche — Based on the absence of public PoC and no known KEV entry, and assuming limited deployment patterns, exposure is estimated at a niche level.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.

Description · NVD

Foxit PDF Editor/Reader’s U3D/GIF texture decoding path contained insufficient validation of image dimensions and related size information. Under certain conditions, this could lead to an incorrectly sized memory allocation and a subsequent out-of-bounds write during pixel processing, potentially resulting in remote code execution.
