CWE-119Published: November 23, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
A maliciously crafted MODEL, SLDASM, SAT or CATPART file when parsed through Autodesk AutoCAD 2024 and 2023 could cause memory corruption vulnerability. This vulnerability, along with other vulnerabilities, could lead to code execution in the current process.
Risk Analysis
Autodesk AutoCAD is vulnerable to memory corruption when parsing specific file formats, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. The critical 9.8 CVSS score highlights the danger of processing untrusted files.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in the KEV catalog. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity.
Update AutoCAD to the latest version to receive security patches. Avoid opening files from untrusted or unknown sources.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-29076 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
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 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
