CVE-2025-10900 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability classified under CWE-787 found in Autodesk Shared Components version 2026.0. The vulnerability arises when a specially crafted MODEL file is parsed by Autodesk software, leading to memory corruption through writing outside the intended buffer boundaries. This memory corruption can result in application crashes, data corruption, or arbitrary code execution within the context of the current process. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction (opening or importing the malicious MODEL file), but no privileges or authentication are necessary, making it accessible to low-privileged users or attackers who can trick users into opening malicious files. The CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8 indicates high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with low attack complexity and no privileges required. While no public exploits are known yet, the vulnerability's nature and impact make it a critical concern for environments relying on Autodesk products for design and engineering workflows. The lack of available patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate risk mitigation strategies. The vulnerability affects a widely used component in Autodesk's ecosystem, potentially impacting multiple products that rely on these shared components for MODEL file parsing.

For European organizations, especially those in engineering, manufacturing, architecture, and construction sectors, this vulnerability could lead to significant operational disruptions. Exploitation could result in loss of intellectual property through arbitrary code execution or data corruption, undermining design integrity and project timelines. The ability to execute code in the context of the affected process could allow attackers to escalate privileges or move laterally within networks, potentially compromising sensitive design data or proprietary information. Given the widespread use of Autodesk products in Europe’s industrial and creative sectors, the impact could extend to critical infrastructure projects and manufacturing pipelines. The disruption caused by crashes or corrupted files could delay projects and incur financial losses. Additionally, the confidentiality breach risk is notable since design files often contain sensitive and proprietary information. The vulnerability’s requirement for user interaction means social engineering could be a vector, increasing the risk in environments where file sharing is common.

Organizations should implement a multi-layered mitigation approach. First, monitor Autodesk’s security advisories closely and apply patches or updates as soon as they become available. Until patches are released, restrict the opening of MODEL files from untrusted or unknown sources and educate users about the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious files. Employ application whitelisting and sandboxing techniques to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to monitor for anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected crashes or memory corruption events. Network segmentation can limit lateral movement if exploitation occurs. Additionally, consider disabling or restricting features that automatically parse MODEL files if feasible. Regular backups of critical design data should be maintained to recover from potential data corruption. Finally, incorporate threat intelligence feeds to stay informed about emerging exploits targeting this vulnerability.
