CVE-2025-10900 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability classified under CWE-787, found in Autodesk Shared Components version 2026.0. This vulnerability is triggered when the software parses a maliciously crafted MODEL file. The out-of-bounds write can lead to memory corruption, which attackers may exploit to cause application crashes, data corruption, or execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected process. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction, as the user must open the malicious MODEL file for exploitation to occur. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with low attack complexity and no privileges required but user interaction necessary. While no exploits are currently known in the wild, the potential for arbitrary code execution makes this a significant threat. Autodesk Shared Components are widely used across various Autodesk products, which are prevalent in industries such as architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. The vulnerability's exploitation could allow attackers to gain control over affected systems, potentially leading to intellectual property theft, disruption of design workflows, or further network compromise.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-10900 could be substantial, especially those in sectors heavily reliant on Autodesk products such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized code execution, resulting in theft or manipulation of sensitive design data, disruption of critical engineering workflows, and potential downtime due to application crashes or data corruption. This could affect intellectual property confidentiality and the integrity of design files, which are critical assets. Additionally, compromised systems could serve as footholds for lateral movement within corporate networks, increasing the risk of broader cyberattacks. The disruption could also delay project timelines and increase operational costs. Given the widespread use of Autodesk software in Europe, the vulnerability poses a significant risk to organizations that do not implement timely mitigations.

To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-10900, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Monitor Autodesk’s official channels for patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available. 2) Restrict the opening of MODEL files from untrusted or unknown sources by enforcing strict file handling policies and user training to recognize suspicious files. 3) Employ application whitelisting to limit execution of unauthorized software and sandbox Autodesk applications to contain potential exploitation. 4) Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 5) Implement network segmentation to isolate systems running Autodesk products, reducing the potential for lateral movement. 6) Regularly back up critical design files and verify backup integrity to enable recovery in case of data corruption. 7) Conduct security awareness training focused on social engineering risks related to opening malicious files. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice and address the specific attack vector and environment of this vulnerability.
