CVE-2024-5509

Code execution via unsecured library loading

Published Jun 6, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Uncontrolled search path handling in KeyShot Studio 2023.3.12.2.2.4 allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted BIP file. During BIP parsing, the application loads a library from an unsecured location, allowing attacker-supplied code to run in the current process. Exploitation requires the target to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file, and the resulting code runs with that user's process privileges.
