DescriptionCVE.org

A maliciously crafted add-in, when installed and executed in Autodesk Fusion Desktop, can modify persistent network proxy settings without user notification or consent. A successful exploit may allow an attacker to redirect authenticated Fusion network traffic through an attacker-controlled proxy, potentially exposing sensitive information with the current user.

AnalysisAI

Proxy settings hijack in Autodesk Fusion Desktop (versions 2705.0.0 through 2705.1.10) allows a maliciously crafted add-in to silently overwrite the application's persistent network proxy configuration without user notification or consent, redirecting all authenticated Fusion network traffic through an attacker-controlled intermediary. The root cause is CWE-15 (External Control of System or Configuration Setting) - Fusion's add-in API imposes no authorization check or user-consent requirement on proxy configuration writes, and the modified setting persists across sessions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation A maliciously crafted Autodesk Fusion add-in must be installed and executed by the target user on Fusion Desktop versions 2705.0.0 through 2705.1.10 - user interaction to install and run the add-in (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 8.6 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) captures the scope change - proxy settings affect traffic routing beyond the immediate application process boundary - and reflects a worst-case CIA triple. … 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 Vendor-released patch: Autodesk Fusion 2705.1.11, available via the Fusion Client Downloader at https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20Client%20Downloader.exe and documented in Autodesk advisory ADSK-SA-2026-0016 (https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2026-0016). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
