Application crash via unchecked null string conversion
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in Nitro PDF Pro for Windows before 14.43 allows attackers to crash the application with a crafted PDF. The app.alert() fallback converts a null first argument with js_ValueToString(), then passes its invalid result to JS_GetStringChars() without validation. Opening the document triggers an access violation; no data disclosure or modification is reported.
