CVE-2025-1431
Published: 13 March 2025
Description
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-1431 is an Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability (CWE-125) affecting Autodesk AutoCAD. The issue arises when AutoCAD parses a maliciously crafted SLDPRT file, potentially leading to a crash, disclosure of sensitive data, or arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process. Published on 2025-03-13, it has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
An attacker with local access can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted SLDPRT file in AutoCAD, requiring no privileges but relying on user interaction. Successful exploitation enables high-impact outcomes, including reading sensitive memory contents, modifying process behavior through code execution, or causing application denial of service via crashes, all within the user's process context.
Autodesk's security advisory (ADSK-SA-2025-0001) addresses the vulnerability, with patches and updates available through their support resources, such as the latest AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2022 downloads. Security practitioners should advise users to apply these updates promptly via Autodesk Access or the provided support articles.
