FreeCAD is a free and open-source multiplatform 3D parametric modeler. From 0.19 until 1.1.1, src/Mod/BIM/bimcommands/BimProjectManager.py in the BIM Project Manager Load Template flow passes attacker-controlled FCStd Meta property values for wpposition, wpu, wpv, and wpaxis directly to eval(), allowing arbitrary Python code execution when a user loads a malicious BIM project template. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.1.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary Python code execution in FreeCAD's BIM module (versions 0.19 through pre-1.1.1) is triggered when a user opens a malicious project template file through the BIM Project Manager's Load Template function. The loadTemplate() method in BimProjectManager.py passes FCStd metadata fields (wpposition, wpu, wpv, wpaxis) directly to Python's built-in eval(), enabling an attacker who can deliver a crafted template to achieve full code execution under the victim's user account. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; the vendor-released patch is confirmed in version 1.1.1.
Technical ContextAI
FreeCAD uses FCStd files (ZIP archives containing XML metadata) as its project format. The BIM module's BimProjectManager.py reads working plane properties from template metadata and passes them directly to Python's built-in eval() - a textbook CWE-95 (Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code / Eval Injection) pattern. The fix in PR #28610 introduces a purpose-built _parse_vector() function using strict regex matching (r'^\s*Vector\s*\(\s*([^,]+)\s*,\s*([^,]+)\s*,\s*([^,)]+)\s*\)\s*$') to extract only numeric Vector(x,y,z) components, eliminating arbitrary code paths. The same patch batch also remediated related eval() misuse in BimLayers.py (replaced with ast.literal_eval() for color data), BimTDPage.py (arithmetic scale parsing), and exportIFC.py (boolean string comparison). Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:freecad:freecad:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering versions 0.19 through 1.1.0 across all supported platforms.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to FreeCAD 1.1.1, the confirmed patched release available at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/1.1.1. The fix replaces all unsafe eval() calls in the BIM module with safe alternatives: a regex-validated _parse_vector() function for working plane vector fields (commits 871ee19b76224910332bbfbd39eebbede967998b and 9ed351cc4700db0a94c46f020c34c58bbf1bdaba), ast.literal_eval() for color tuples in BimLayers.py, explicit arithmetic parsing in BimTDPage.py, and direct string comparison for booleans in exportIFC.py. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, the primary compensating control is to treat FCStd BIM template files from external or untrusted sources with the same caution as executable attachments - verify file origin and integrity before loading. There is no known configuration option to disable only the vulnerable loadTemplate() code path without disabling the BIM module entirely, which would eliminate BIM Project Manager functionality. Organizations sharing templates across teams should establish a verified-source policy for template distribution.
