CVE-2025-3015Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Application crash via unchecked ASE vertex index

Published Mar 31, 2025 · Updated Mar 31, 2025

Out-of-bounds read in the ASE File Handler in Assimp 5.4.3 allows attackers to crash applications by supplying a crafted ASE file. BuildUniqueRepresentation uses each face's mIndices value to index mesh.mPositions without checking it against the vector's size. The application must import an attacker-supplied ASE file; the published reproducer triggers an invalid read and process crash, while code execution is unproven.
