CVE-2025-8892: CWE-120 Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') in Autodesk Shared Components
A maliciously crafted PRT file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force a Memory Corruption vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2025-8892) involves a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) in Autodesk Shared Components version 1.6.2.11. When a maliciously crafted PRT file is parsed, it causes memory corruption that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current process. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is local with low complexity but requires user interaction. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild or vendor-provided patches at this time.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution, potentially allowing an attacker to take control of the affected process. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system running Autodesk Shared Components 1.6.2.11. The attack requires local access and user interaction, limiting remote exploitation. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should exercise caution when opening PRT files from untrusted sources and consider restricting local access to affected systems. Monitor Autodesk's official channels for updates and patches addressing this vulnerability.
