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-2026-57239 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-2026-57239/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-57239/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-57239","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-57239/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-57239","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x8h2-84hg-x9j6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF editor software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Low-privilege users can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via user-controllable executable files in Foxit PDF products.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Foxit","cpe":[{"product":"pdf_editor","vendor":"foxit"},{"product":"pdf_reader","vendor":"foxit"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"The user-controllable executable files will be directly executed by high-privilege processes, allowing low-privilege users to have the opportunity to elevate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-07-08","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":17,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-07-08T13:47:31Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Paradoxis/CVE-2026-57239","stars":17,"title":"Proof of concept exploit for CVE-2026-3775/CVE-2026-3780 and CVE-2026-57239 which lets you obtain NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM rights via the Foxit PDF Reader updater service."}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Foxit PDF Editor/Reader Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2026-57239","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"foxit:pdf_editor","products":["foxit:pdf_editor","foxit:pdf_reader"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Foxit PDF Editor/Reader Form Field Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-57240"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Foxit PDF Editor/Reader Annotation Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-57238"},"products":["Foxit PDF Editor","Foxit PDF Reader"],"published":"2026-07-08","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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-09","vendors":["Foxit Software Inc."]},"summary":"Low-privilege users can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via user-controllable executable files in Foxit PDF products.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-57239/"}
