CVE-2025-1433
Published: 13 March 2025
Description
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-1433 is an Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability (CWE-125) affecting Autodesk AutoCAD. The issue arises when AutoCAD parses a maliciously crafted MODEL file, potentially leading to exploitation. 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).
A local attacker with no privileges can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into opening a malicious MODEL file in AutoCAD, which requires user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to cause a denial-of-service crash, read sensitive data from memory, or execute arbitrary code within the context of the AutoCAD process.
Autodesk's security advisory ADSK-SA-2025-0001 addresses this vulnerability. Mitigation involves applying the latest updates, available through Autodesk support resources such as the AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2022 update download page, with additional context provided in the Autodesk Access product overview.
