Is Open in Foxit™ Reader safe?
Open in Foxit™ Reader passes web-origin PDF URLs to a native shell command without sanitization when a custom Foxit path is configured.
The extension intercepts PDF link clicks across all websites and sends the URL to a native messaging host (com.add0n.node), which constructs and runs a shell command via child_process.exec. When users have configured a custom Foxit executable path, the raw web-origin URL is concatenated directly into the shell command string with no escaping. The extension also fetches its native client installer from the GitHub Releases API without verifying any checksum or code signature before offering it for installation.
