CVE-2020-12247
In Foxit Reader and PhantomPDF before 10.0.1, and PhantomPDF before 9.7.3, attackers can obtain sensitive information from an out-of-bounds read because a text-string index continues to be used after splitting a string into two parts.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.61%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
