CVE-2025-2532

Code execution via unvalidated USDC object access

Published Mar 25, 2025 · Updated Mar 25, 2025

Use-after-free in KeyShot Studio before 2026.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted USDC file. The USDC parser operates on an object without first validating that the object still exists, producing a use-after-free. Exploitation requires the target to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file, and successful code runs in the current process context.
