Code execution via out-of-bounds PDF parsing
Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in Autodesk Revit 2024 through 2027 allows attackers to execute code when a crafted PDF file is opened. Revit's PDF parser reads beyond an intended buffer while processing malformed file data, but Autodesk has not identified the affected routine or field. Exploitation requires a user to open the file and can disclose process data, crash Revit, or execute code with the current process's privileges.

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=2026.0.0 <2026.5.0
- Affected versionversion=2027.0.0 <2027.2.0
