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-2026-5938 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-2026-5938/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5938/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-5938","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5938/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-5938","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7r3x-9grv-cr95"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF editor and reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A crafted PDF document can cause an infinite loop and UI freeze in Foxit PDF Editor and Reader, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Foxit","cpe":[{"product":"pdf_editor","vendor":"foxit"},{"product":"pdf_reader","vendor":"foxit"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-691","name":"Insufficient Control Flow Management"}],"description":"Improper control flow management allows a crafted document action chain to cause modal dialog reentry on the main thread, resulting in UI freeze and denial of service.","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":"Foxit PDF Editor/Reader Infinite Loop Denial-of-Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-5938","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"foxit:pdf_editor","products":["foxit:pdf_editor","foxit:pdf_reader"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"UAF in Foxit PDF Editor/Reader via XFA calculate event","id":"CVE-2026-5939"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Foxit PDF Editor/Reader's insufficient parameter validation leads to denial-of-service vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-5937"},"products":["Foxit PDF Editor","Foxit PDF Reader"],"published":"2026-04-27","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-27","vendors":["Foxit Software Inc."]},"summary":"A crafted PDF document can cause an infinite loop and UI freeze in Foxit PDF Editor and Reader, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-5938/"}
