CVE-2025-9457: CWE-122 Heap-based 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-2025-9457) involves a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in Autodesk Shared Components version 1.8.0.7. When the software parses a specially crafted PRT file, it triggers memory corruption that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current process. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector requires local access (AV:L) and user interaction (UI:R), with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no privileges required (PR:N). The vulnerability is published but no patch or fix information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected process, potentially compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability requires a local attacker to convince a user to open a malicious PRT file, which then triggers the heap-based buffer overflow. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should avoid opening untrusted or suspicious PRT files and restrict local access to trusted users only. Monitor Autodesk's official channels for updates regarding patches or mitigations.
