CVE-2021-40326

An attacker can write to an arbitrary file, and display controlled contents, during signature verification.

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.28%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Foxit PDF Reader before 11.1 and PDF Editor before 11.1, and PhantomPDF before 10.1.6, mishandle hidden and incremental data in signed documents. An attacker can write to an arbitrary file, and display controlled contents, during signature verification.
