Code execution via out-of-bounds SVG read
Published Aug 24, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in Autodesk 3ds Max 2026 and 2027 allows context-dependent attackers to execute code through a crafted SVG file. The SVG parser reads beyond a buffer boundary while processing malformed file data; Autodesk has not disclosed the responsible function or patch diff. Exploitation requires user interaction to make 3ds Max process the file and can disclose sensitive data or crash the application.

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 <2026.3.4
- Affected versionversion=2027.0.0 <2027.2.0
