A maliciously crafted project directory, when opening a max file in Autodesk 3ds Max, could lead to execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current process due to an Untrusted Search Path being utilized.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in Autodesk 3ds Max occurs when users open max files from maliciously crafted project directories that exploit an untrusted search path vulnerability. Local attackers can leverage this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user without requiring special permissions or interaction beyond opening a file. No patch is currently available for this high-severity vulnerability affecting 3ds Max users.
Technical ContextAI
Classified as CWE-426 (Untrusted Search Path). Affects 3Ds Max. A maliciously crafted project directory, when opening a max file in Autodesk 3ds Max, could lead to execution of arbitrary code in the context of the current process due to an Untrusted Search Path being utilized.
