CVE-2022-25791

Code execution via unvalidated DWF parsing

Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Memory corruption in Autodesk AutoCAD 2019 through 2022 and Navisworks 2019, 2020, and 2022 allows remote attackers to execute code. The DWF parser fails to validate user-supplied file data before processing it, producing a memory-corruption condition in the current process. Exploitation requires the target to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file, and successful execution inherits the affected application's privileges.
