Code execution via malformed 3DM parsing
Published Jun 25, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
Heap-based overflow in opennurbs.dll in Autodesk AutoCAD products allows context-dependent attackers to execute code when a crafted 3DM file is opened. The parser mishandles malicious 3DM content and causes a heap-based overflow; Autodesk has not disclosed the responsible function or malformed field. Exploitation requires user interaction and can crash the application, expose process memory, or run code with the current process privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=2022 <2022.1.5
- Affected versionversion=2023 <2023.1.6
- Affected versionversion=2024 <2024.1.4
