Code execution via Doc object out-of-bounds read
Published Feb 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in PDF-XChange Editor 10.4.0.388 allows remote attackers to execute code by delivering malicious document content. The Doc object handler fails to validate user-supplied data before reading beyond the end of an allocated buffer. Exploitation requires the target to open a malicious file or visit a malicious page, and resulting code runs in the current process.
