Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that a victim open, within the Autodesk Fusion desktop application, a design whose name was crafted to contain a malicious HTML/JavaScript payload - the attacker must therefore first deliver that poisoned design to the target (e.g., through sharing or collaboration), and the payload only triggers when the design is displayed after being opened (UI:R). Limiting factors: this is a local vector (AV:L) dependent on the victim's action rather than remote unauthenticated access; it is confined to vulnerable Fusion versions in the range 2705.1.30 to <2706.1.14 and is fully addressed by updating to 2706.1.14. No special target-side configuration is stated as required, but the trigger (which component renders the design name without sanitization) is not detailed in the available sources.

Impact

This is a moderate, conditional risk rather than an emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, 7.1) describes a local attack vector requiring victim interaction: a second user must open a design whose name contains a malicious HTML/JS payload, which then executes stored XSS inside the Fusion desktop process (CWE-79) and can read local files or run arbitrary code. No EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no proof-of-concept or exploit reference is present in the input - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', consistent with a patched, vendor-reported, interaction-dependent flaw that warrants prompt but not emergency remediation. The signals are internally consistent: local vector + required user interaction + no exploitation evidence all point to a real-but-targeted threat that depends on social delivery of a poisoned design, not mass internet-facing exploitation. Note the absence of EPSS and KEV data means widespread-exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a Fusion design whose name embeds a malicious HTML/JavaScript payload and shares or distributes that design (e.g., via a collaboration workflow or shared project). When another user opens the manipulated design in the Fusion desktop application, the stored payload renders and executes in the application context, allowing the attacker to read local files or run arbitrary code as that user. No public PoC or exploit code is identified in the available data, and exploitation requires that a victim actually open the attacker-supplied design (UI:R).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Autodesk Fusion 2705.1.30 through versions before 2706.1.14 allows an attacker who delivers a design with a crafted name to run HTML/JavaScript when another user opens and views that design, potentially reading local files or executing code in the context of the Fusion process. This is a moderate, conditional risk rather than an emergency: exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) on a local vector (AV:L) with no privileges required (PR:N), and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. Updating to 2706.1.14 fully addresses the issue per the assessment.

RemediationAI

Update Autodesk Fusion to 2706.1.14 or later; this is the vendor-released patch version identified in the assessment. Installers are linked from the Autodesk advisory at https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2026-0019 and directly at https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20Client%20Downloader.exe (Windows) and https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20Client%20Downloader.dmg (macOS). The independent assessment states that updating to 2706.1.14 fully addresses the issue; no additional compensating controls are specified in the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is CWE-79 (improper neutralization of input during web page generation, i.e., cross-site scripting). In Autodesk Fusion, a design name is stored and later rendered as HTML when the design is displayed; because the name is not sanitized, a maliciously crafted payload persists in the design and executes in the rendering context of the desktop application. CPE data identifies the affected product line as Autodesk Fusion (cpe:2.3:a:autodesk:fusion:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N describes a local attack that requires the victim to open and view the poisoned design, with high confidentiality and integrity impact but no availability impact. The sources do not detail which Fusion component renders the design name or how the HTML is processed, so the exact trigger is not described.

DescriptionNVD

A maliciously crafted HTML payload in a design name, when displayed after another user opens the manipulated design, can trigger a Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Autodesk Fusion desktop application. A malicious actor may leverage this vulnerability to read local files or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Autodesk Fusion versions 2705.1.30 through 2706.1.13 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that could allow a malicious design file to execute code when opened by a user. This affects engineering and design teams using Fusion, potentially exposing local files or enabling code execution within the Fusion process. Leadership should prioritize patching to prevent potential data leakage or system compromise stemming from collaboration on shared design files.

Attack Technique

Cross-Site Scripting occurs when an application accepts untrusted data and sends it to a web browser without proper validation or encoding.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
