CVE-2025-7042

Code execution via stale IPT parser object

Published Jul 15, 2025 · Updated Jul 15, 2025

Use-after-free in Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS eDrawings 2025 SP0 through SP2 allows attackers to execute code via a crafted IPT file. The IPT parser performs operations on an object without validating that the object still exists, causing it to use the object after release. Exploitation requires a user to open the file or visit malicious content and runs code in the current eDrawings process.
