Network-delivered via crafted file, no privileges needed, but user must open file (UI:R); heap overflow yields limited C/I/A impact within the application process only.

A security flaw has been discovered in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 17c12da. Impacted is the function Assimp::Compression::decompressBlock of the file code/Common/Compression.cpp of the component File Parser. Performing a manipulation results in heap-based buffer overflow. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) commit 17c12da enables remote attackers to corrupt memory by supplying a crafted file processed by the decompressBlock routine in Compression.cpp. Any application embedding Assimp for 3D asset import is exposed when a user opens a malicious model file, making this a supply-chain-style risk across game engines, editors, and design tools that depend on the library. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a user passively interact with a malicious file - specifically, that the target application calls Assimp's file parsing pipeline on an attacker-supplied 3D model containing a crafted compressed block (UI:P per CVSS 4.0). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 reflects a moderate severity with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P and uniformly Low C/I/A impacts on the vulnerable system, suggesting real-world exploitation is constrained by the passive user interaction requirement (UI:P - a user must open a malicious file) and the limited per-component impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the Assimp project received notification via GitHub issue #6624 but has not yet responded or issued a fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
