Foxit privilege escalation and use-after-free vulnerabilities

Discovered by KPC of Cisco Talos.

Foxit PDF Editor is a popular PDF handling platform for editing, e-signing, and collaborating on PDF documents. Talos found three vulnerabilities:

TALOS-2025-2275 (CVE-2025-57779) is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the installation of Foxit PDF Editor via the Microsoft Store. A low-privilege user can replace files during the installation process, which may result in elevation of privileges.

TALOS-2025-2277 (CVE-2025-58085) and TALOS-2025-2278 (CVE-2025-59488)  are use-after-free vulnerabilities, one in the way Foxit Reader handles a Barcode field object, and one in the way Foxit Reader handles a Text Widget field object. A specially crafted JavaScript code inside a malicious PDF document can trigger these vulnerabilities, which can lead to memory corruption and result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger these vulnerabilities. Exploitation is also possible if a user visits a specially crafted, malicious site if the browser plugin extension is enabled.

Epic Games local privilege escalation vulnerability

Discovered by KPC of Cisco Talos.

Epic Games Store is a storefront application for purchasing and accessing video games. Talos found TALOS-2025-2279 (CVE-2025-61973), a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the installation of Epic Games Store via the Microsoft Store. A low-privilege user can replace a DLL file during the installation process, which may result in elevation of privileges.

Talos found 21 reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities across several functions of MedDream PACS Premium 7.3.6.870. An attacker can provide a specially crafted URL to trigger these vulnerabilities, which can lead to arbitrary JavaScript code execution.
