CVE-2026-5936: CWE-918 Server-Side request forgery (SSRF) in Foxit Software Inc. Foxit PDF Services API
CVE-2026-5936 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Foxit Software Inc. 's Foxit PDF Services API. An attacker can supply a crafted URL to manipulate the server into making HTTP requests to arbitrary destinations. This can be used to probe internal network services, access restricted endpoints such as cloud metadata services, or bypass network access controls. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 8. 5 and affects versions before 2026-04-07. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-5936 in Foxit PDF Services API allows an attacker with at least low privileges to control server-side HTTP requests by providing a malicious URL. This SSRF flaw can enable attackers to reach internal or protected network resources that are otherwise inaccessible, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure and partial compromise of the internal environment. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.5, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 2026-04-07. Currently, no official remediation level or patch is documented by Foxit Software Inc.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized internal network reconnaissance, access to sensitive internal endpoints such as cloud metadata services, and bypass of network access controls. This may result in sensitive information disclosure and could facilitate further internal compromise. The vulnerability does not directly allow full integrity or availability impact but does allow high confidentiality impact and limited integrity impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official patch or remediation level is provided, users should monitor Foxit Software Inc. advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, restricting access to the vulnerable API and implementing network-level controls to limit outbound HTTP requests from the service may reduce risk.
