Assigner: MITRE

Description
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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Foxit PDF and Editor for Windows and macOS before versions 13.2 and 2025 before 2025.2. It allows a crafted PDF to use JavaScript to alter annotation content and then clear the file's modification status via JavaScript interfaces. This means an attacker can hide changes made to a document, misleading users about the document's integrity and compromising the trustworthiness of digitally signed PDFs.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can impact you by allowing attackers to modify a digitally signed PDF document without detection. This undermines the reliability of digital signatures, potentially causing you to trust altered documents that appear unmodified, which can lead to misinformation, fraud, or other security risks.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, users should update their Foxit PDF Reader and Editor applications to the latest versions. Updates can be obtained through the application's built-in update feature or by downloading the latest versions from the Foxit website. [1]
