CNA authorization empowers Foxit to assign official CVE IDs, advancing transparency and efficiency in vulnerability disclosure
FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Foxit, a global leader in PDF and document productivity solutions, today announced that it has been authorized as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program.
This designation officially authorizes Foxit to assign CVE Identifiers (IDs) and publish CVE Records for security vulnerabilities found in its products, greatly simplifying the process for coordinated disclosure and patching for its global customer base, including enterprise and government clients.
Taking Control of the Vulnerability Lifecycle
As a newly certified CNA, Foxit will directly help uphold the global standard for vulnerability detection. This status emphasizes the company's dedication to proactive security, transparency, and compliance with strict federal and international compliance regulations.
"Becoming a CNA is a crucial step in advancing our product security program and strengthens our dedication to global security standards," said Derek O'Neill, Director, Data Privacy & Information Security at Foxit. "It enables us to respond more quickly, ensuring that when a security flaw is discovered internally or by an external researcher, it is immediately recognized as a security anomaly and assigned a unique, standardized CVE ID, with consistent tracking. This faster management of the vulnerability lifecycle improves our ability to release patches and issue advisories swiftly, ultimately protecting our customers effectively."
Key Benefits of Foxit's CNA Status:
-- Faster Response: Direct control over ID assignment significantly reduces
the time between vulnerability discovery and official public
notification.
-- Enhanced Transparency: The ability to issue official CVE Records
provides customers and security analysts with clearer, standardized
information about vulnerabilities affecting Foxit products.
-- Streamlined Collaboration: Foxit can now coordinate the disclosure
process more effectively with independent security researchers, ensuring
proper credit and protecting users from zero-day exploits.
Commitment to the Global Security Community
The CVE Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is a global effort to identify, define, and catalog publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Foxit joins hundreds of organizations worldwide participating in this effort.
Foxit is dedicated to fostering a more secure ecosystem and encourages security researchers to continue reporting potential vulnerabilities through its established disclosure channel at www.foxit.com/support/security.
