DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in Assimp up to 6.0.4. This impacts the function Assimp::MDL::HalfLife::HL1MDLLoader::read_animations of the file HL1MDLLoader.cpp of the component Half-Life 1 MDL Loader. Such manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The project tagged the reported issue as bug.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in Assimp's Half-Life 1 MDL Loader (versions up to 6.0.4) allows a locally authenticated attacker with low privileges to corrupt heap memory via a crafted MDL animation file, producing low-severity but confirmed confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability resides in the read_animations function of HL1MDLLoader.cpp and is reproducible with publicly available exploit code (POC). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Local access with a low-privilege authenticated account is required (CVSS AV:L/PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 5.3 Medium with AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L reflects a local attack surface with low complexity and privileges, no user interaction, and bounded low-impact across all three CIA pillars - the scope does not change, meaning privilege escalation beyond the vulnerable process is not directly indicated. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with local low-privilege access on a system running an application that uses Assimp (e.g., a 3D modeling tool, game engine, or file conversion utility) supplies a specially crafted Half-Life 1 MDL file containing malicious animation data. When the application parses the file using the HL1MDLLoader, the read_animations function writes beyond a heap buffer boundary, corrupting adjacent memory. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been independently confirmed at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
