CVE-2021-32936

CWE-787Published: June 17, 2021· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

7.8
CVSS v3.1

Official Description

An out-of-bounds write issue exists in the DXF file-recovering procedure in the Drawings SDK (All versions prior to 2022.4) resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer and allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the current process.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2021-32936 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-787): Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities can lead to data corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution.
