"According to its version, the Foxit PDF Reader for Mac application (previously named Foxit Reader for Mac) installed on
the remote macOS host is prior to 12.1.1. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine of Foxit Software's PDF Reader, version
12.1.1.15289. A specially crafted PDF document can trigger the reuse of previously freed memory by
manipulating form fields of a specific type. This can lead to memory corruption and arbitrary code
execution. An attacker needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this
vulnerability. Exploitation is also possible if a user visits a specially crafted, malicious site if the
browser plugin extension is enabled. (CVE-2023-28744)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
