DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 17c12da. This affects the function Assimp::MDLImporter::AddBonesToNodeGraph_3DGS_MDL7 of the file code/AssetLib/MDL/MDLLoader.cpp of the component Node Parser. The manipulation of the argument bones_num results in heap-based buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. 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) at commit 17c12da allows remote attackers to corrupt heap memory by supplying a crafted MDL7 3DGS format file that triggers out-of-bounds writes in the AddBonesToNodeGraph_3DGS_MDL7 function via a manipulated bones_num argument. Any application embedding Assimp that accepts untrusted 3D model files is exposed, with no vendor patch released as the project has not responded to disclosure. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application embeds Assimp and exposes MDL7 (3D Game Studio MDL version 7) format parsing to attacker-influenced file input - applications that only process other formats (OBJ, FBX, glTF, DAE, etc.) are not affected by this specific code path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 with E:P reflects medium severity modulated by the user-interaction requirement (UI:P) - a victim application must parse an attacker-supplied MDL file - and the low impact ratings across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. … 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 project has not responded to the responsible disclosure reported via https://github.com/assimp/assimp/issues/6632. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
