AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a Use-After-Free condition (CWE-416) in Autodesk Shared Components 1.6.2.11. When a maliciously crafted PRT file is parsed, it can trigger memory corruption leading to potential denial of service, data disclosure, or arbitrary code execution. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates local attack vector with low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction needed, and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to application crashes, unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, or execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user process. This could compromise system integrity and confidentiality on affected systems running the vulnerable Autodesk Shared Components version.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid opening untrusted PRT files with the affected Autodesk Shared Components version 1.6.2.11. Monitor Autodesk's official channels for updates and patches addressing this vulnerability.
