CVE-2024-8592

Code execution via malformed CATPART parsing

Published Oct 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 26, 2025

Memory corruption in AcTranslators.exe in Autodesk AutoCAD products 2022 through 2024 allows remote attackers to execute code via CATPART files. The CATPART parser fails to validate user-supplied file data before processing it in memory, producing memory corruption in the current process. Exploitation is limited to Windows and requires a user to open a malicious file or visit a malicious page; successful attacks can crash the application, write sensitive data, or execute code.
