CVE-2026-19568: CWE-120 Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') in Autodesk 3ds Max
CVE-2026-19568 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in Autodesk 3ds Max versions 2026.0.0 and 2027.0.0. It occurs when a maliciously crafted SVG file is parsed, leading to memory corruption that can allow arbitrary code execution within the context of the current process. The vulnerability requires local access with user interaction and has low attack complexity. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-19568) in Autodesk 3ds Max involves a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) triggered by processing a specially crafted SVG file. The flaw allows memory corruption, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The affected versions explicitly identified are 2026.0.0 and 2027.0.0. There is currently no vendor-provided remediation or patch information available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user, potentially compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack requires local access and user interaction, with low complexity to exploit. 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, avoid opening untrusted SVG files in Autodesk 3ds Max versions 2026.0.0 and 2027.0.0. Monitor Autodesk's communications for updates on patches or workarounds.
