Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
A maliciously crafted HTML payload, stored in a design name and exported to CSV, can trigger a Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Autodesk Fusion desktop application. A malicious actor may leverage this vulnerability to read local files or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Autodesk Fusion desktop application allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code or read local files by crafting malicious HTML payloads in design names that trigger when exported to CSV format. The vulnerability requires no authentication but depends on user interaction (opening the exported CSV). Vendor patch available via updated client installers for Windows and macOS. No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public proof-of-concept code identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
This is a Stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) affecting the Autodesk Fusion desktop application (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:autodesk:fusion). Unlike typical web-based XSS, this occurs in a desktop application context where HTML payloads embedded in design metadata (specifically design names) are not properly sanitized during CSV export operations. When a user opens the exported CSV file, the malicious script executes within the application's rendering engine or associated file handler. The local attack vector (AV:L) indicates exploitation requires the attacker to have local access or social engineer a victim into importing a malicious design file. The vulnerability's severity stems from the desktop application's elevated privileges compared to browser sandboxes, enabling filesystem access and code execution in the process context rather than being confined to typical web XSS limitations.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch available via updated Fusion client installers. Windows users should download and install the patched version from https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20Client%20Downloader.exe while macOS users should use https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20Client%20Downloader.dmg. Consult the official Autodesk security advisory at https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2026-0005 for detailed remediation instructions and specific fixed version numbers. As an interim mitigation, organizations should educate users to avoid opening design files or exported CSV data from untrusted sources, and implement application control policies to prevent execution of unexpected scripts from CSV file handlers until patches are deployed.
