What to check
- Applies to
- The 28 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
CERT-FR issued an advisory detailing a large batch of vulnerabilities in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader affecting Windows and Mac versions prior to 13.2.5, 14.0.5, and 2026.1.2. The flaws collectively enable remote code execution, privilege escalation, and unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, though the advisory does not specify individual technical root causes or provide evidence of active exploitation.
Foxit published a corresponding security bulletin on July 8, 2026, addressing 26 distinct CVEs. Organizations running affected Foxit products should apply the vendor-supplied patches promptly, as PDF readers/editors are commonly targeted attack surfaces for document-based exploitation.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
