A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SketchUp 2026's Dynamic Components feature allows remote code execution and local file exfiltration through maliciously crafted SKP files. The vulnerability stems from improper input sanitization in the component options window, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary system commands and read local files without user interaction by exploiting an embedded Internet Explorer 11 browser.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary command execution and local file theft in Trimble SketchUp 2026 arises from a cross-site scripting flaw in the Dynamic Components component-options window, which renders untrusted data inside an embedded Internet Explorer 11 engine. An attacker who delivers a maliciously crafted SKP model file can inject script that pivots from XSS to running system commands and reading local files. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.04%), but the technical impact is rated total and a vendor patch is available.
Technical ContextAI
SketchUp is Trimble's 3D modeling application; its Dynamic Components feature lets model authors embed interactive options and formulas configured through an in-application options window. That window is rendered by a legacy embedded Internet Explorer 11 browser control, so unsanitized attacker-controlled strings inside a .SKP file are treated as active HTML/script. This maps to CWE-94 (code injection): the root cause is that component-option input is not sanitized before being interpreted, allowing script injection that the antiquated IE11 host escalates into OS-level command execution and file access. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:trimble:sketchup:*, i.e. the desktop SketchUp product line.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade SketchUp to 2026.1.3 or later, which is the first fixed release per the EUVD affected range and is available from the vendor via the Trimble Trust Center advisory (https://trust.trimble.com/?tcuUid=52252bc0-c196-4b1f-9f13-4e4c9ba247d9). Until patching, treat SKP files from untrusted or external sources as active content: do not open unsolicited models, and where possible avoid opening Dynamic Components from unverified files, since the flaw lives in the component-options rendering path - the trade-off is loss of dynamic-component functionality for those files. Application allowlisting and using EDR to block SketchUp from spawning command interpreters (cmd.exe/PowerShell child processes) reduces RCE impact but may interfere with legitimate plugins/extensions that shell out.
