Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in Assimp up to 6.0.4. Affected by this vulnerability is the function aiNode::~aiNode of the file scene.cpp of the component ASE File Parser. Executing a manipulation can lead to use after free. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project tagged the reported issue as bug.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Assimp's ASE File Parser - specifically the aiNode::~aiNode destructor in scene.cpp - allows a local, low-privileged attacker to corrupt heap memory, potentially causing denial of service or achieving arbitrary code execution in applications that load 3D model files. All Assimp versions through 6.0.4 are affected. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Local system access with low-privilege credentials is required (CVSS AV:L, PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) is shaped by a local attack vector (AV:L), low complexity (AC:L), low privilege requirements (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and low impact across all CIA pillars. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A local attacker with standard user-level credentials places a specially crafted ASE-format 3D model file in a location processed by a target application - such as a game engine's asset import directory or a 3D editor's file open dialog. When Assimp parses the file, the `aiNode::~aiNode` destructor in `scene.cpp` accesses heap memory that has already been freed during the node tree teardown, corrupting heap state. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version has been confirmed from available references at time of analysis - the CVSS temporal remediation level is explicitly marked as not defined (RL:X), and the upstream GitHub issue (#6617) does not indicate a tagged fixed release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
