Descriptions

A maliciously crafted DWG file in Autodesk Navisworks 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 can be forced to write beyond allocated boundaries when parsing the DWG files. This vulnerability can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

Un archivo DWG diseñado maliciosamente en Autodesk Navisworks versiones 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, puede ser forzado a escribir más allá de los límites asignados cuando se analizan los archivos DWG. Esta vulnerabilidad puede ser explotada para ejecutar código arbitrario

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Autodesk Navisworks. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DWG files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
