CVE-2010-1239
Foxit Reader before 3.2.1.0401 allows remote attackers to (1) execute arbitrary local programs via a certain "/Type /Action /S /Launch" sequence, and (2) execute arbitrary programs embedded in a PDF document via an unspecified "/Launch /Action"…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
