CVE-2026-14479 is a medium severity vulnerability in the Autodesk Installer IPC frame parser. It involves improper validation of an input-specified position or offset, leading to an out-of-range substring operation. Exploitation can cause the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM service to terminate unexpectedly, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from improper validation of input parameters in the Autodesk Installer IPC frame parser. A maliciously crafted input can trigger an out-of-range substring operation due to an invalid position or offset. This causes the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM service to crash unexpectedly, leading to a denial-of-service condition. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5 (medium severity), reflecting local attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and impact limited to availability (no confidentiality or integrity impact).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service condition by causing the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM service to terminate unexpectedly. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The service crash could disrupt normal operations on affected systems.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently provided. Until a patch is available, consider restricting access to the Autodesk Installer IPC interface to trusted users only to reduce risk.
