AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
File-parser trigger requires local file open by user (AV:L, UI:R); no attacker privileges needed to craft or deliver the file (PR:N); full RCE impact within process scope (C:H/I:H/A:H).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A maliciously crafted FLT file, when parsed through Autodesk 3ds Max, can force an Out-of-Bounds Write vulnerability. A malicious actor may leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, cause data corruption, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in Autodesk 3ds Max's FLT file parser allows an attacker to cause a crash, corrupt data, or execute arbitrary code within the process context of the application. Exploitation requires a victim to open a specially crafted FLT (OpenFlight) file, placing this firmly in the file-borne, socially engineered delivery category. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must actively open a maliciously crafted FLT file within Autodesk 3ds Max - this is the sole trigger condition (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The reported CVSS 7.8 (High) reflects a locally-triggered vulnerability with full C/I/A impact - a score consistent with file-parser RCE flaws. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a maliciously structured FLT file engineered to trigger an out-of-bounds write in 3ds Max's parser and delivers it to a target - via email, a shared asset repository, or a compromised download source - with a pretext encouraging the recipient to open it (e.g., a 3D scene for review). When the victim opens the file in 3ds Max, the parser writes beyond allocated buffer bounds, potentially allowing the attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution running under the victim's user account. … |
| Remediation | Consult Autodesk Security Advisory ADSK-SA-2026-0014 at https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2026-0014 and apply the vendor-released patch once identified - specific fix version numbers were not included in the provided intelligence data and should be confirmed from the advisory directly. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all Autodesk 3ds Max installations and users, issue a security directive prohibiting opening FLT files from external or unverified sources, and request file suppliers provide alternative formats (MAX, FBX, OBJ). …
