AI-suggested
Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement the following mitigations: (1) Restrict the opening of SKP files from untrusted or unknown sources; (2) Educate users about the risks of opening files or clicking links from suspicious emails or websites; (3) Employ endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting anomalous behavior related to SketchUp Viewer; (4) Use application whitelisting to limit execution of unauthorized code; (5) Monitor network and endpoint logs for unusual activity associated with SketchUp Viewer processes; (6) Consider isolating or sandboxing the SketchUp Viewer environment to contain potential exploitation; (7) Once available, promptly apply vendor patches and updates to remediate the vulnerability.
Description
Trimble SketchUp Viewer SKP File Parsing Use-After-Free 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 validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-24144.
