Code execution via unchecked DWG parsing
Published Aug 21, 2024 · Updated Aug 26, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Autodesk Revit and Revit LT 2022 through 2025 allows attackers to execute code via a crafted DWG file. The DWG parser fails to validate supplied data before writing beyond an allocated stack buffer. Execution requires user interaction to parse the file, and resulting code runs with the current process's privileges.
