Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Command injection (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

The weakness exists due to command injection flaw when application is not running in Safe-Reading-mode. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted .pdf file, abuse the app.launchURL JavaScript call, inject arbitrary commands and execute arbitrary code.

2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to write arbitrary files on the target system.

The weakness exists due to input validation flaw when application is not running in Safe-Reading-mode. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted .pdf file, abuse the this.saveAs function call, drop a file to the local file system and execute arbitrary code.

3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to write arbitrary files on the target system.

The weakness exists due to input validation flaw when application is not running in Safe-Reading-mode. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted .pdf file, abuse the createDataObject function call, create arbitrary executable file in the local file system and execute arbitrary code.

4) Command injection (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
