Information disclosure via Doc object over-read
Published Mar 29, 2023 · Updated Feb 18, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in PDF-XChange Editor 9.3.361.0 allows remote attackers to disclose process memory through a malicious page or file. JavaScript actions against a Doc object make the handler read past the end of the object's allocated memory. Exploitation requires the target to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file; the standalone result is information disclosure, while code execution requires another vulnerability.
