A maliciously crafted BMP file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force a Untrusted Pointer Dereference vulnerability. (CVE-2026-7406)
A maliciously crafted BMP file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force a Untrusted Pointer Dereference vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises when certain Autodesk products parse a malicious BMP file, triggering an Untrusted Pointer Dereference condition. Exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current process. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.8 (High), reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is local, with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but requires user interaction.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system or data. The vulnerability is rated high severity due to these impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently available. Users should monitor Autodesk advisories for updates and avoid opening untrusted BMP files in affected products until a fix is released.
