CVE-2026-9264: CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code in Trimble SketchUp
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SketchUp 2026's Dynamic Components feature allows remote code execution and local file exfiltration through maliciously crafted SKP files. The vulnerability stems from improper input sanitization in the component options window, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary system commands and read local files without user interaction by exploiting an embedded Internet Explorer 11 browser.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-9264) in SketchUp 2026 involves improper control over code generation (CWE-94) within the Dynamic Components feature. Specifically, the component options window fails to properly sanitize input, enabling attackers to craft SKP files that trigger cross-site scripting (XSS). This XSS can be exploited to execute arbitrary system commands and exfiltrate local files by abusing the embedded Internet Explorer 11 browser component. The affected product is a desktop application, not a cloud service. No CVSS score or official remediation information is currently provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands and read local files on the victim's machine without user interaction. This can lead to full system compromise, data theft, and further malicious activity. The vulnerability affects the desktop version of SketchUp 2026 and leverages a legacy embedded browser component, increasing the attack surface.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should avoid opening untrusted SKP files and consider disabling or restricting the use of Dynamic Components if possible. Monitor official Trimble communications for updates and patches addressing this vulnerability.
