CVE-2025-10884 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability classified under CWE-787, found in Autodesk Shared Components version 2026.0. The vulnerability is triggered when the software parses a maliciously crafted CATPART file, which is a file format used by Autodesk for 3D part models. This improper handling leads to writing data outside the intended memory bounds, which can corrupt memory, cause application crashes, or enable arbitrary code execution within the context of the affected process. The vulnerability requires the user to open or otherwise process the malicious CATPART file, implying user interaction is necessary. The attack vector is local (AV:L), meaning the attacker must have some form of access to deliver the malicious file to the victim. The vulnerability has low attack complexity (AC:L) and does not require privileges (PR:N), but user interaction (UI:R) is mandatory. The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is confined to the vulnerable component. The CVSS v3.1 score is 7.8, indicating a high severity level with potential high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patches or exploits are currently publicly available, but the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the possibility of arbitrary code execution. Autodesk Shared Components are widely used in various Autodesk products, which are prevalent in design, engineering, and manufacturing sectors. This vulnerability could be leveraged to compromise systems used for critical design and manufacturing workflows.

For European organizations, especially those in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and engineering sectors, this vulnerability could lead to severe operational disruptions. Exploitation could result in unauthorized code execution, allowing attackers to steal intellectual property, manipulate design files, or disrupt production processes. Data corruption or application crashes could cause loss of critical design data, impacting project timelines and increasing costs. Given the reliance on Autodesk products in European industries, successful exploitation could also lead to broader supply chain risks. Confidentiality breaches could expose sensitive design information, while integrity violations could undermine trust in product designs. Availability impacts could halt design workflows, causing cascading effects on manufacturing and delivery schedules. The requirement for user interaction somewhat limits remote exploitation but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments where file sharing is common. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not preclude future targeted attacks.

European organizations should implement strict controls on the handling of CATPART files, including restricting file sources and scanning all incoming files with advanced malware detection tools. Employ application whitelisting to limit execution of unauthorized code within Autodesk environments. Use sandboxing or virtualization to open untrusted CATPART files safely. Monitor and audit user activities related to file handling to detect suspicious behavior. Maintain up-to-date backups of critical design data to recover from potential data corruption or ransomware attacks. Coordinate with Autodesk for timely patch deployment once updates become available, and subscribe to vendor advisories for early warnings. Educate users on the risks of opening files from untrusted sources and enforce policies to minimize exposure. Network segmentation can limit lateral movement if exploitation occurs. Consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify anomalous process behavior related to this vulnerability.
