It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-43310 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-43310 is a high-severity vulnerability in Foxitsoftware Foxit Reader, published on 9 Nov 2022. 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-2022-43310 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-2022-43310/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43310/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-43310","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43310/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-43310","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v33q-grx6-58x9"],"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":"Attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting an uncontrolled search path element in Foxit Reader's DLL loading mechanism.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"foxit_reader","vendor":"foxitsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"An Uncontrolled Search Path Element in Foxit Software released Foxit Reader v11.2.118.51569 allows attackers to escalate privileges when searching for DLL libraries without specifying an absolute path.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43310","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"foxitsoftware:foxit_reader","products":["foxitsoftware:foxit_reader"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43317"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43309"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-11-09","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting an uncontrolled search path element in Foxit Reader's DLL loading mechanism.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43310/"}
