It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8843 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-2015-8843/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8843/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8843","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8843/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8843","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rw82-83m8-mfj2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges via memory corruption in the Foxit Cloud Update Service when updates are available.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"foxit_reader","vendor":"foxitsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The Foxit Cloud Update Service (FoxitCloudUpdateService) in Foxit Reader 6.1 through 6.2.x and 7.x before 7.2.2, when an update to the Cloud plugin is available, allows local users to gain privileges by writing crafted data to a shared memory region, which triggers memory corruption.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8843","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"foxitsoftware:foxit_reader","products":["foxitsoftware:foxit_reader"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8844"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8842"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-33793","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38568","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38572","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38573","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-38574","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-26534","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-26535","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges via memory corruption in the Foxit Cloud Update Service when updates are available.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8843/"}
