About this tag
The foxit security tag covers security updates for Foxit PDF Reader and Foxit PDF Editor on Windows and macOS. Recent coverage focuses on Foxit’s July 8, 2026 release, which addresses more than 30 vulnerabilities across the current 2026.x line and supported 14.x and 13.2 Editor branches. It highlights CVE-2026-57239, a Foxit update-service vulnerability that could potentially enable NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM rights on Windows. The recommended response is to identify every Foxit installation, apply the fixed build for its product branch, and verify the installed version afterward rather than applying a single version requirement to all deployments.
