Vulnerabilities

Foxit PDF Editor/Reader inconsistently alerts users when signature fields are abnormally modified, including alterations to appearance, coordinates, or field duplication. This may mislead users into trusting tampered documents, since the UI cannot accurately reflect the actual integrity status of signatures.

When the application opens a PDF file and JavaScript deletes the PDF fields, the subsequent logic still uses the old field pointers, resulting in invalid pointer references and causing the application to crash.

When the application executes the JavaScript script embedded in the PDF within the sandbox, it fails to intercept some dangerous interfaces, which allows remote scripts to be loaded, resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Document structural anomalies caused inconsistencies between page element relationships and internal index states. When scripts triggered document modifications, object reference validity was not properly maintained, leading to a crash when accessing an invalid pointer during page information queries.

An attacker can control a server-side HTTP request by supplying a crafted URL, causing the server to initiate requests to arbitrary destinations. This behavior may be exploited to probe internal network services, access otherwise unreachable endpoints (e.g., cloud metadata services), or bypass network access controls, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure and further compromise of the internal environment.

Addressed a potential insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the signing invitation acceptance process. Under certain conditions, this issue could have allowed an attacker to access or modify unauthorized resources by manipulating user-supplied object identifiers, potentially leading to forged signatures and compromising the integrity and authenticity of documents undergoing the signing process. The issue was caused by insufficient authorization validation on referenced resources during request processing.

The application's list box calculate array logic keeps stale references to page or form objects after they are deleted or re-created, which allows crafted documents to trigger a use-after-free when the calculation runs and can potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.

Foxit PDF Editor Cloud (pdfonline) contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Create New Layer feature. Unsanitized user input is embedded into the HTML output, allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution when the layer is referenced. This issue affects pdfonline.foxit.com: before 2026‑02‑03.

URL parameters are directly embedded into JavaScript code or HTML attributes without proper encoding or sanitization. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary scripts when an authenticated user visits a crafted link. This issue affects na1.foxitesign.foxit.com: before 2026‑01‑16.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Digital IDs functionality of the Foxit PDF Editor Cloud (pdfonline.foxit.com). The application does not properly sanitize or encode the Common Name field of Digital IDs before inserting user-supplied content into the DOM. As a result, embedded HTML or JavaScript may execute whenever the Digital IDs dialog is accessed or when the affected PDF is loaded.
