CVE-2026-7454: CWE-120 Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') in Autodesk 3ds Max
A maliciously crafted WRL file, when parsed through Autodesk 3ds Max, 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-2026-7454) is a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) in Autodesk 3ds Max 2026 and 2027. When a maliciously crafted WRL file is parsed, the application does not properly check the size of input data before copying it, causing memory corruption. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code 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 attack vector is local with low complexity and no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user running Autodesk 3ds Max. This can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. 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. No official fix or temporary workaround has been published by Autodesk as of the provided data. Users should avoid opening untrusted WRL files and monitor Autodesk advisories for updates.
