Detailsinfo
A vulnerability has been found in Foxit PDF Services API up to 2026-04-06 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a server-side request forgery vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-918. The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
An attacker can control a server-side HTTP request by supplying a crafted URL, causing the server to initiate requests to arbitrary destinations. This behavior may be exploited to probe internal network services, access otherwise unreachable endpoints (e.g., cloud metadata services), or bypass network access controls, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure and further compromise of the internal environment.
