| Exploitation Conditions | A maliciously crafted Autodesk Fusion add-in must be installed and executed by the target user on Fusion Desktop versions 2705.0.0 through 2705.1.10 - user interaction to install and run the add-in (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor. The attacker must also operate or control a network-reachable proxy server to receive and inspect the redirected traffic. No elevated OS privileges are required by the add-in itself; the Fusion application context provides sufficient access to overwrite proxy settings. The vulnerability does not affect Fusion 2705.1.11 or later. There is no remote, unauthenticated path - exploitation is constrained to scenarios where the user actively installs and runs the malicious add-in. |
| Impact | The vendor-assigned CVSS 8.6 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) captures the scope change - proxy settings affect traffic routing beyond the immediate application process boundary - and reflects a worst-case CIA triple. However, the description's stated consequence is primarily information disclosure ('potentially exposing sensitive information'), making the I:H and A:H components appear overstated relative to the described impact; while a redirecting proxy could theoretically alter or block traffic, neither outcome is described as a confirmed effect of this vulnerability. Real-world risk is gated by the social engineering requirement of convincing a professional CAD user to install a malicious add-in (UI:R), which is the primary limiting factor. No EPSS data, KEV listing, or public POC code was included in the input, limiting assessment of opportunistic exploitation risk. The attack is plausible in targeted scenarios such as supply-chain compromise of a legitimate community add-in or distribution of a trojanized utility through engineering forums. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker publishes a free Autodesk Fusion add-in - for example, a parametric modeling utility - to a community forum or third-party marketplace; an engineer installs and runs it during normal design work. The add-in silently writes an attacker-controlled proxy server address to Fusion's persistent proxy configuration; from that point forward, every authenticated Fusion cloud API call is routed through the attacker's proxy, allowing interception of session tokens and potentially proprietary CAD data without any further user interaction. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 10, 2026
Proxy settings hijack in Autodesk Fusion Desktop (versions 2705.0.0 through 2705.1.10) allows a maliciously crafted add-in to silently overwrite the application's persistent network proxy configuration without user notification or consent, redirecting all authenticated Fusion network traffic through an attacker-controlled intermediary. The root cause is CWE-15 (External Control of System or Configuration Setting) - Fusion's add-in API imposes no authorization check or user-consent requirement on proxy configuration writes, and the modified setting persists across sessions. No public exploit has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog; Autodesk has released a fix in version 2705.1.11 under advisory ADSK-SA-2026-0016.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Autodesk Fusion 2705.1.11, available via the Fusion Client Downloader at https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20Client%20Downloader.exe and documented in Autodesk advisory ADSK-SA-2026-0016 (https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2026-0016). Organizations that cannot immediately patch should restrict Fusion add-in installation to a pre-approved allowlist of signed, vendor-verified add-ins; disabling unverified third-party add-in loading entirely eliminates this attack surface but may break legitimate productivity workflows and requires testing. On Windows endpoints, monitoring proxy registry key writes (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings or equivalent Fusion-specific config paths) via endpoint detection rules can surface exploitation attempts on unpatched systems.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Autodesk Fusion Desktop supports a third-party add-in ecosystem that extends the application with additional tools and workflows. CWE-15 (External Control of System or Configuration Setting) arises because the add-in API exposes write access to the application's network proxy settings - a persistent, system-level configuration - without any authorization gate, privilege check, or user-consent mechanism. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:autodesk:fusion:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering build series 2705.0.0 up to but not including 2705.1.11. Because proxy settings persist after add-in execution and apply to all subsequent Fusion network sessions, a single silent write at install or run time is sufficient to establish a long-lived interception channel targeting all authenticated cloud API communications made by the application.

DescriptionCVE.org
A maliciously crafted add-in, when installed and executed in Autodesk Fusion Desktop, can modify persistent network proxy settings without user notification or consent. A successful exploit may allow an attacker to redirect authenticated Fusion network traffic through an attacker-controlled proxy, potentially exposing sensitive information with the current user.
Executive ViewAI
Autodesk Fusion Desktop versions 2705.0.0 through 2705.1.10 allow malicious add-ins to silently intercept all network traffic from the application, exposing sensitive design data and authentication credentials to attacker inspection or modification. The vulnerability requires add-in installation but persists across sessions, creating ongoing exposure risk for design teams using affected versions. While no public exploit has been identified, organizations should prioritize patching to version 2705.1.11 and implement add-in governance controls.
