Information disclosure via unchecked PDF parser read
Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Mar 12, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in PDF parsing in PDF-XChange Co Ltd PDF-XChange Editor 10.4.0.388 allows remote attackers to disclose data via a crafted PDF. The parser fails to validate user-supplied PDF data before reading past the end of an allocated object, exposing adjacent process memory. Exploitation requires the target to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file; the read alone exposes information, while code execution requires another vulnerability.
