CVE-2026-1289: CWE-416: Use After Free in Autodesk Revit
CVE-2026-1289 is a Use-After-Free vulnerability in Autodesk Revit triggered by parsing a maliciously crafted PDF file. Exploitation can lead to application crashes, sensitive data disclosure, or arbitrary code execution within the context of the current process. The vulnerability affects multiple recent versions of Autodesk Revit. The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates a high severity issue with local attack vector and requires user interaction.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-1289) involves a Use-After-Free condition in Autodesk Revit when processing specially crafted PDF files. An attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a crash, leak sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Revit process. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-416 and affects versions 2024.0.0, 2025.0.0, 2026.0.0, and 2027.0.0 of Autodesk Revit. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting a local attack vector with low complexity, no privileges required, but requiring user interaction. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are all rated high. There are no known exploits in the wild and no patch or remediation information is currently provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can cause application crashes, potentially leading to denial of service, unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, or execution of arbitrary code within the context of the affected process. This can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system running Autodesk Revit.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution when opening PDF files in Autodesk Revit, especially from untrusted sources. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or mitigations.
