CVE-2020-14425 is a remote command execution vulnerability in Foxit Reader before version 10.0. The issue is exposed through the app.opencPDFWebPage JavaScript API. According to the provided content, a malicious PDF can abuse this JavaScript API to execute local files and bypass the product’s security dialog, allowing attacker-controlled actions to be triggered from PDF-embedded JavaScript. The vulnerability is therefore tied to Foxit Reader’s handling of privileged JavaScript functionality and inadequate enforcement of security restrictions around command or local file execution.
