An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-26979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Foxit Pdf Editor. 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-2022-26979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-26979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26979/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-26979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3w8w-875g-xvfg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF reader/editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in Foxit PDF Reader and Editor allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted collaboration state models.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pdf_editor","vendor":"foxit"},{"product":"pdf_reader","vendor":"foxit"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"Foxit PDF Reader before 12.0.1 and PDF Editor before 12.0.1 allow a NULL pointer dereference when this.Span is used for oState of Collab.addStateModel, because this.Span.text can be NULL.","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":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-26979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"foxit:pdf_editor","products":["foxit:pdf_editor","foxit:pdf_reader"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting in teampass","id":"CVE-2022-26980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-26978"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-08-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28104","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-24954","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-24955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Foxit PDF Editor/Reader Updater Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2026-91798","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Foxit PDF Editor installer local privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2026-91800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Security Vulnerability Report – Foxit PDF Editor/Reader Updater DLL Search Path Hijacking","id":"CVE-2026-91803","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Foxit PDF Editor/Reader FoxitUpdater Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-91813","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-23"}],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in Foxit PDF Reader and Editor allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted collaboration state models.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-26979/"}
