AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7455 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) in Autodesk 3ds Max triggered by parsing specially crafted FLT files. Exploitation can result in a crash, data corruption, or arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current process. The vulnerability affects exactly versions 2026.0.0 and 2027.0.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, with attack vector local, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available, and no known exploits have been reported.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can cause denial of service via application crashes, data corruption, or potentially allow arbitrary code execution within the context of the 3ds Max process. This could lead to compromise of the affected system depending on the privileges of the user running the software.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Autodesk advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid opening untrusted FLT files and restrict access to such files to trusted sources only.
