An issue was discovered in Foxit PDF and Editor for Windows and macOS before 13.2 and 2025 before 2025.2. A crafted PDF can use JavaScript to alter annotation content and subsequently clear the file's modification status via JavaScript interfaces. This circumvents digital signature verification by hiding document modifications, allowing an attacker to mislead users about the document's integrity and compromise the trustworthiness of signed PDFs.

Matched user-interaction-client (CVSS AV:N, CVSS UI:R)
Exposure
- Identify endpoints reporting this CVE, especially those used for email and web browsing.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A network vector that needs user interaction points at user-facing client software. · Rule user-interaction-client
Exploitation evidence
- Review unusual child processes started by the affected client application on affected endpoints.Telemetry: DeviceProcessEvents · Hunting hypothesis from the CVSS vector; it does not show that exploitation occurred. · Rule user-interaction-client
Response
- Confirm the source-stated update on affected endpoints.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A follow-up inventory check verifies remediation. · Rule user-interaction-client
