Descriptions

Use-After-Free, Out-of-bounds Write and Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerabilities exist in the DWG and DXF file reading procedure in SOLIDWORKS Desktop from Release SOLIDWORKS 2021 through Release SOLIDWORKS 2023. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code while opening a specially crafted DWG or DXF file.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Dassault Syst��mes SolidWorks. 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.
