Summary

CVE-2025-9452 is a high-severity Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) vulnerability in Autodesk Shared Components. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203); ranked at the 18th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-16 (Memory Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A maliciously crafted SLDPRT file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force a Memory corruption vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.
T1204.002 Malicious File Execution
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Why these techniques?

Memory corruption in file parser enables client-side RCE (T1203) via malicious SLDPRT file (T1204.002).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces validation of untrusted file input (SLDPRT) to block malformed data that triggers out-of-bounds writes.

prevent

Applies memory-protection mechanisms (e.g., ASLR, NX, bounds checking) that make successful exploitation of the memory-corruption flaw far more difficult.

prevent

Limits process privileges so that even successful arbitrary-code execution from the crafted file has reduced system impact.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure-development practices (static analysis, bounds checking, code review) are the primary means of preventing out-of-bounds writes.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover out-of-bounds write flaws so they can be remediated.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching or replacing vulnerable software directly eliminates known instances of this coding weakness.

detects

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect and prevent out-of-bounds write defects.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates practices that prevent out-of-bounds writes.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify bounds-checking and safe memory handling.

prevents

Secure architecture and engineering principles reduce the likelihood of buffer overflows.

prevents

Secure coding directly addresses out-of-bounds writes through language choice and coding standards.

prevents

Change management can enforce review gates that catch unsafe memory operations before deployment.
