DescriptionCVE.org

A maliciously crafted PAR file, when parsed through Autodesk 3ds Max, can force a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability. Successful exploitation may cause the application to crash, leading to a denial-of-service condition.

AnalysisAI

NULL Pointer Dereference in Autodesk 3ds Max's PAR file parser allows a local attacker to crash the application by convincing a user to open a specially crafted PAR file, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. Affected versions span both the 2026 (prior to 2026.1) and 2027 (prior to 2027.1) release lines. No active exploitation has been identified - EPSS is 0.00% (0th percentile), SSVC exploitation status is 'none', and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV - placing this squarely in a low-urgency, patch-and-monitor posture.

Technical ContextAI

PAR files are Particle system Archive files used by Autodesk 3ds Max (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:autodesk:3ds_max:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) to store and transfer particle system data. The root cause is CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference): during parsing of a malformed PAR file, the application dereferences a pointer that was never properly initialized or validated, causing an access violation. The CVSS vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U confirms this is a client-side file-parsing vulnerability - the attack is local, requires no attacker privileges, demands that the victim open the malicious file, and has no scope change. Impact is limited entirely to availability (A:H), with no confidentiality or integrity effects, consistent with a pure crash/DoS class defect.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to upgrade to Autodesk 3ds Max 2026.1 or 3ds Max 2027.1, which are the patched releases confirmed by EUVD-2026-31909. Autodesk's official advisory at https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2026-0006 should be consulted for patch delivery details; updates are available through the Autodesk Access tool referenced at https://www.autodesk.com/products/autodesk-access/overview. As a compensating control for organizations unable to patch immediately, instruct users not to open PAR files received from untrusted or unverified sources, and consider implementing file-type filtering at email and web gateways to quarantine unexpected PAR attachments for manual review - note this approach does not prevent exploitation through other delivery channels such as shared drives or USB media.
