Last Revised: 4/18/2024

Severity CVSS Score Impact
Low 0.1 - 3.9 A vulnerability where scope and impact of exploitation is restricted and the ability to exploit is extremely difficult.
Medium 4.0 - 6.9 A vulnerability where exploitation is mitigated by factors such as difficulty to exploit, default configuration or ease of identification.
High 7.0 - 8.9 A vulnerability, which if exploited, would directly impact the confidentiality, integrity or availability of user's data or processing resources.
Critical 9.0 - 10 A vulnerability, which if exploited, would allow remote execution of malicious code without user action.

Summary

Autodesk AutoCAD and certain AutoCAD-based products may be affected by Out-of-Bounds write, Stack-based Overflow, Heap based Overflow, Use-After-Free, Memory Corruption, Untrusted Pointer Dereference, Heap-based Buffer Overflow, and Uninitialized Variable vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may lead to code execution.

*Note: Product list table contents subject to change.

 

** Note: Users of Autodesk Advance Steel, Autodesk Civil 3D, and the specialized toolsets of AutoCAD need to install either product update(s) listed above or a more recent product version. These security fixes are not included in the updates specific to individual toolsets.

Recommendations

Autodesk strongly recommends that users of the listed supported versions of AutoCAD, Advance Steel, Civil 3D and the specialized toolsets of AutoCAD install the latest updates, as applicable, via Autodesk Access or the Accounts Portal. As a general best practice, we also recommend that customers only open files (3dm, abc, CATPart, iges, igs, model, prt, sldasm, sldprt, step, stp, x_t) from trusted sources.

 

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.
