CVE-2025-1046
Published: 23 April 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-1046 is a high-severity Use After Free (CWE-416) vulnerability in Luxion Keyshot. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 40.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
Luxion KeyShot contains a use-after-free vulnerability (CWE-416) in its SKP file parser, tracked as CVE-2025-1046 (ZDI-CAN-23646). The flaw stems from insufficient validation of object existence before operations occur during file parsing, allowing arbitrary code execution in the context of the KeyShot process on affected installations.
Remote attackers can trigger the issue by convincing a target to open a malicious SKP file or visit a page that delivers one. Successful exploitation yields code execution with the privileges of the running KeyShot process; the vulnerability carries a CVSS 7.8 score reflecting local attack vector, low complexity, required user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Public advisories from Zero Day Initiative and Luxion reference a vendor patch and security update; the associated KeyShot advisory (KSA-113962) provides remediation guidance for affected versions.
EPSS for this CVE rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0148 on 2026-05-25 before receding to the current value of 0.0038, indicating a measurable increase in exploitation interest after disclosure.
