CVE-2026-7452: CWE-120 Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') in Autodesk 3ds Max
CVE-2026-7452 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in Autodesk 3ds Max versions 2026 and 2027. It arises from improper handling of WRL files, allowing a maliciously crafted file to cause memory corruption. This can enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected process. The vulnerability requires local access with user interaction to trigger. No official patch or remediation guidance has been confirmed at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-7452) involves a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) in Autodesk 3ds Max 2026 and 2027. When parsing a specially crafted WRL file, the software fails to properly check the size of input data before copying it, leading to memory corruption. Successful exploitation could allow arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction to exploit. No patch or official remediation level has been published by Autodesk yet.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process, potentially compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is local with low attack complexity but requires user interaction. 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 exercise caution when opening WRL files from untrusted sources and limit local access to trusted users only.
