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-2018-16292 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Foxitsoftware Phantompdf. 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-2018-16292/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16292/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16292","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16292/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16292","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5c44-w5q5-qr55"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free in the JavaScript engine allows arbitrary code execution via a malicious PDF, requiring user interaction to open the file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phantompdf","vendor":"foxitsoftware"},{"product":"reader","vendor":"foxitsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"An exploitable use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine of Foxit Reader before 9.3 and PhantomPDF before 9.3, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-16291, CVE-2018-16293, CVE-2018-16294, CVE-2018-16295, CVE-2018-16296, and CVE-2018-16297.
