Code execution via out-of-bounds CATPART parsing
Published Mar 13, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in CATPART parsing in Autodesk AutoCAD and based products 2022 through 2025 allows attackers to execute code. The parser reads beyond a buffer boundary while processing attacker-controlled CATPART data; Autodesk has not disclosed the affected function or field. A user must open the crafted file, after which exploitation can crash the process, read sensitive data, or run code in the current process.

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 <2022.1.6
- Affected versionversion=2023 <2023.1.7
- Affected versionversion=2024 <2024.1.7
- Affected versionversion=2025 <2025.1.2
