CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2025-9454 is a high-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) 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 12th 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 PRT file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force an Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the…

Why these techniques?
Malicious PRT file parsing triggers OOB read leading to client-side RCE or data disclosure, directly enabling T1203 (Exploitation for Client Execution) and T1204.002 (Malicious File).

Control response
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces validation of untrusted file input (PRT) to reject malformed structures that trigger out-of-bounds reads.
Applies memory-access protections that can block or contain the effects of an out-of-bounds read during file parsing.
Requires integrity verification of both the application binary and incoming files to reduce the chance of executing attacker-supplied malformed content.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.
Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.
Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing out-of-bounds read flaws.

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.
Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.
Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.
Application security requirements include explicit bounds and memory-safety specifications that mitigate buffer over-reads.
Secure system architecture and engineering principles require memory-safe design patterns and runtime protections against out-of-bounds access.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
