CVE-2025-1650
Published: 13 March 2025
Description
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-1650, published on 2025-03-13, is an Uninitialized Variable vulnerability (CWE-457, CWE-908) affecting Autodesk AutoCAD. The issue arises when the software parses a maliciously crafted CATPRODUCT file, leading to improper handling of uninitialized variables within the application.
Attackers with local access can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity and no required privileges, though it requires user interaction such as opening the malicious file. Successful exploitation enables the attacker to crash the AutoCAD process, read sensitive data from memory, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process, earning 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).
Autodesk's security advisory (adsk-sa-2025-0001) addresses this vulnerability, with mitigation available through the latest software updates. Users can download patches for affected versions, including AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2022, via official support channels.
