Summary

A security vulnerability exists within PDF-XChange Editor that involves improper parsing of U3D files. This flaw allows remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code on affected installations of the software, but successful exploitation requires user interaction, such as visiting a malicious webpage or opening a compromised file.
