Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An Out-Of-Bounds Read Vulnerability in Autodesk FBX Review version 1.5.2 and prior may lead to code execution through maliciously crafted ActionScript Byte Code 'ABC' files or information disclosure. ABC files are created by the Flash compiler and contain executable code. This vulnerability in conjunction with other vulnerabilities could lead to code execution in the context of the current process.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Autodesk FBX Review's parsing of ActionScript Byte Code (ABC) files. When the software processes a maliciously crafted ABC file, it reads memory beyond allocated buffer boundaries, leading to potential information disclosure. This vulnerability can be chained with other vulnerabilities to achieve code execution in the context of the current process.

MitigationUpdate Autodesk FBX Review to a version newer than 1.5.2. Until patched, avoid opening ABC files from untrusted sources.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Autodesk FBX Review is installed
    Check for the application in the system. On Windows, look in Program Files or Program Files (x86) for 'Autodesk\FBX Review'. On macOS, check /Applications for 'FBX Review.app'. Alternatively, search for the executable named 'FBXReview.exe' (Windows) or the application bundle (macOS).
    Affected if The software is found on the system, proceed to version check.
  2. Identify installed version number
    Right-click the FBX Review executable or application bundle and select Properties, then view the Details tab for version information. On Windows, you can also run 'wmic product get name,version' or check the version listed in Add/Remove Programs. On macOS, right-click the app, select Get Info, and check the version field.
    Affected if Version is present in the output.
  3. Compare version to affected range
    Compare the installed version to the affected range. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 1.5.3, meaning versions 1.5.2, 1.5.1, 1.5.0, and earlier are affected.
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 1.5.3 (for example, 1.5.2, 1.5.1, 1.5.0, or any earlier version).
  4. Verify ABC file parsing capability exists
    The vulnerability triggers when processing ActionScript Byte Code (ABC) files. Confirm the software can parse ABC files by checking if ABC file type association exists or by attempting to open a sample ABC file if available. The default installation includes ABC parsing functionality.
    Affected if ABC file parsing is available in the installed version (this is true by default in vulnerable versions).

The environment is affected if Autodesk FBX Review is installed with a version lower than 1.5.3 and the software can parse ABC files, which is the default behavior.
