Researchers recently disclosed six new security vulnerabilities across various software, as one critical vulnerability was found in Foxit PDF Reader, a widely used alternative to Adobe Acrobat.  Given the memory corruption vulnerability, attackers could execute arbitrary code on the machine that is the target of their attack.  Additionally, three vulnerabilities were discovered in Veertu’s Anka Build, a software suite used for testing macOS or iOS applications in CI/CD environments, which could potentially compromise the security of the testing environment. Foxit PDF Reader has been identified with a critical use-after-free vulnerability, which malicious actors could exploit to execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.  The vulnerability can be exploited if a user opens a specially crafted PDF file or visits a malicious website while the Foxit PDF Reader browser extension is enabled.
