Acknowledgements

Autodesk was made aware of this vulnerability by a third-party security researcher, along with a second vulnerability, that reported against one of our sample/tutorial codes and not the production FBX 2019.5 Software Development Kit. It was related to example sample code not catching an exception; however, the SDK does the correct thing here: it throws an exception. The sample code is not intended to be production code and should not be used as such – to this end, it poses no risk to production environments.
