Recommendations
Autodesk highly recommends that customers download and install the latest version of Autodesk® Inventor 2022 Update 2 (version 2022.2), which is available via the Autodesk Desktop App or the Accounts Portal. This version of Autodesk Inventor includes security updates that address the JT file vulnerabilities. As a general best practice, we recommend that customers only open JT files from trusted sources and update to the latest software version.
Updates are not available for previously supported versions of Autodesk® Inventor and AutoCAD® – versions 2021-2019. Mitigation instructions for Autodesk® Inventor 2021-2019 are available in thisAutodesk Knowledge Networkarticle and for Autodesk AutoCAD-based products in thisAutodesk Knowledge Networkarticle. In addition, users of the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 versions of Autodesk® Advance Steel, Autodesk® Civil 3D, AutoCAD®, AutoCAD® LT, and AutoCAD-based specialized toolsets listed in the table above should install the latest AutoCAD® or AutoCAD LT 2022 or 2023 updates, as applicable, via the Autodesk Desktop App orAccounts Portal.
Customers using previous versions that no longer qualify for full support should plan to upgrade to a supported version as soon as possible to avoid downtime and potential security vulnerabilities. Visit the Autodesk Knowledge Network for more information about previous version support.
