According to its version, the Foxit PDF Editor application (previously named Foxit PhantomPDF) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 11.2.3. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Foxit PDF Reader before 12.0.1 and PDF Editor before 12.0.1 allow a NULL pointer dereference when     this.Span is used for oState of Collab.addStateModel, because this.Span.text can be NULL. (CVE-2022-26979)

  - Foxit PDF Reader before 12.0.1 and PDF Editor before 12.0.1 allow an exportXFAData NULL pointer     dereference. (CVE-2022-27944)

  - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of     Foxit PDF Reader 11.2.1.53537. 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 Annotation objects. By performing actions in JavaScript, an attacker can trigger a read past the end of     an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute     arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-16777. (CVE-2022-34873)

  - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of     Foxit PDF Reader 11.2.2.53575. 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 Doc objects. By performing actions in JavaScript, an attacker can trigger a read past the end of an     allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute     arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-17474. (CVE-2022-34874)
