A maliciously crafted BMP file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force a Untrusted Pointer Dereference vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
AnalysisAI
Untrusted pointer dereference in Autodesk products' BMP file parser enables arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process. An attacker who can convince a user to open a specially crafted BMP file gains full code execution capability (C:H/I:H/A:H). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must open a maliciously crafted BMP file using an affected Autodesk product - this is the sole prerequisite per the CVSS UI:R rating. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 7.8 with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a credible but access-constrained threat. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker targeting an engineer or architect crafts a malicious BMP file embedding attacker-controlled pointer values in the file header or data section and delivers it via email, shared drive, or a compromised project file repository. When the victim opens the file in an affected Autodesk application, the parser dereferences the untrusted pointer, redirecting execution to attacker-controlled code running with the full privileges of the current user process. … |
| Remediation | Apply the patches detailed in Autodesk security advisory ADSK-SA-2026-0012, available at https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2026-0012. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Autodesk product versions in production through license management systems, alert users to cease opening BMP files from external or untrusted sources, and disable BMP file format support in Autodesk application settings where functionality allows. …
