AI-suggested
Users and organizations should immediately restrict the use of SketchUp Viewer version 22.0.316.0 until an official patch is released by Trimble. Avoid opening SKP files from untrusted or unknown sources and be cautious of unsolicited links or attachments that could trigger the vulnerability. Employ endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting anomalous behavior related to code execution from user applications. Network-level controls such as web filtering and email gateway protections can help block malicious payload delivery. Implement application whitelisting to limit execution of unauthorized code. Monitor for unusual process activity and maintain regular backups to enable recovery in case of compromise. Stay informed via Trimble’s official channels for security updates and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
Trimble SketchUp Viewer SKP File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Trimble SketchUp Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SKP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-24104.
