Code execution via malformed DLL parsing
Published May 12, 2023 · Updated Jan 27, 2025
Use-after-free in Autodesk InfraWorks 2021 and 2023 allows local users to execute code by opening a malicious DLL file. The DLL parser reads beyond allocated boundaries while processing the crafted file; Autodesk has not identified the affected parser or object lifetime error. Exploitation requires user interaction with the file and can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the user context.
