CVE-2020-17433
Description
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Foxit Studio Photo 3.6.6.922. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of CMP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated structure. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-11356.

Vulnerability
CVE-2020-17433 affects Foxit Studio Photo versions up to 3.6.6.922. The vulnerability exists in the product's parsing of CMP files. The flaw stems from improper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated structure [1][2].
Exploitation
Exploitation requires user interaction: the target must visit a malicious webpage or open a crafted CMP file. The attacker can deliver the payload remotely via social engineering or other means. Once the user opens the malicious file, the out-of-bounds read is triggered during parsing [2].
Impact
A successful exploit allows an attacker to disclose sensitive information from the process memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process [1][2].
Mitigation
As of the available references, no specific patched version of Foxit Studio Photo has been disclosed. Foxit Software maintains a security bulletins page, but it primarily addresses Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor, not Studio Photo [1]. The vulnerability was reported via ZDI (ZDI-CAN-11356) and remains unpatched per the cited sources. Users should limit exposure by not opening untrusted CMP files [2].
