CVE-2025-6645

Code execution via unvalidated U3D object access

Published Jun 25, 2025 · Updated Jun 26, 2025

Use-after-free in PDF-XChange Editor 10.5.2.395 allows remote attackers to execute code after a crafted U3D file is opened. The U3D parser performs operations on an object without first validating that the object still exists, allowing access through a dangling reference. Exploitation requires user interaction to visit a malicious page or open a malicious file, and successful code runs in the current process context.
