It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4759 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Foxitsoftware Foxit Reader. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4759/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4759/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4759","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4759/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4759","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xj7c-jcfx-6wc9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Foxit Reader plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the current working directory when opening a PDF with the Facebook plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"foxit_reader","vendor":"foxitsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in facebook_plugin.fpi in the Facebook plug-in in Foxit Reader 5.3.1.0606 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .pdf file.
