Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates and avoid processing untrusted glTF models until a fix is released. Applying strict input validation or sandboxing Assimp processes may reduce risk but are not confirmed mitigations.
Description
Assimp versions up to 6.0.6 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the glTF and glTF2 importers. This flaw allows attackers to craft buffer URI values with '..' segments or absolute paths to read arbitrary local files, such as /etc/passwd, by loading them into imported mesh vertex data.
