Why It Matters

Analysis dossier

Why It Matters

Foxit PDF Editor and Reader before 2025.2.1 allow signature spoofing via triggers. An attacker can embed triggers (e.g., JavaScript) in a PDF document that execute during the signing process. When a signer reviews the document, the content appears normal. However, once the signature is applied, the triggers modify content on other pages or optional content layers without explicit warning. This can cause the signed PDF to differ from what the signer saw, undermining the trustworthiness of the digital signature. The fixed versions are 2025.2.1, 14.0.1, and 13.2.1.

Suggested hunting (rule-based inference)

SecOps Signal recommendation (rule-based inference). These steps are hunting hypotheses from the vulnerability class; they do not state or imply that exploitation occurred here or anywhere.

Matched user-interaction-client (CVSS AV:N, CVSS UI:R)

Exposure

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. Confirm the source-stated update on affected endpoints.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A follow-up inventory check verifies remediation. · Rule user-interaction-client
