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
A maliciously crafted SLDPRT file when parsed ODXSW_DLL.dll through Autodesk applications can be used to cause a Stack-based Overflow. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code 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

A maliciously crafted SLDPRT file parsed through ODXSW_DLL.dll in Autodesk applications triggers a stack-based buffer overflow, potentially allowing an attacker to crash the application, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

MitigationAvoid opening untrusted or unverified SLDPRT files in affected Autodesk applications; implement input validation and sandboxing as compensating controls until vendor patch is available.

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. Identify installed Autodesk application
    Open Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features, or use 'Get-ItemProperty' PowerShell command: Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like '*AutoCAD*' -or '*Civil*' -or '*Advance Steel*'}
    Affected if Any of the following products are installed: AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD MEP, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Civil 3D, Advance Steel, or AutoCAD Map 3D
  2. Confirm exact version number
    Run the application, go to Help > About, or check the installation directory for version information. In PowerShell: Get-ChildItem 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk' -Recurse -Filter 'acad.exe' | Select-Object FullName, VersionInfo | ForEach-Object { $_.VersionInfo } | Select-Object ProductName, ProductVersion
    Affected if The exact version cannot be determined or does not display in the expected format (e.g., 2021.x, 2022.x, etc.)
  3. Compare version to affected ranges
    Match your installed version against these ranges: 2021.0 to 2021.1.3 (vulnerable), 2022.0 to 2022.1.3 (vulnerable), 2023.0 to 2023.1.4 (vulnerable), 2024.0 to 2024.1.2 (vulnerable), 2025.0 to 2025.0.0 (vulnerable). If any part of the version string is lower than the minimum fixed version for that release line, the system is affected.
    Affected if Installed version falls within any of these ranges: >= 2021 but < 2021.1.4, >= 2022 but < 2022.1.4, >= 2023 but < 2023.1.5, >= 2024 but < 2024.1.3, >= 2025 but < 2025.0.1
  4. Verify presence of vulnerable component
    Check if ODXSW_DLL.dll exists in the application installation directory. In PowerShell: Get-ChildItem 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk' -Recurse -Filter 'ODXSW_DLL.dll' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object FullName
    Affected if ODXSW_DLL.dll is found in the Autodesk application folder, indicating the parsing component is present
  5. Check if SLDPRT file import is used
    Review application usage patterns or logs to determine if users import or open SLDPRT (SolidWorks part) files. This file format is processed by the vulnerable ODXSW_DLL.dll component.
    Affected if Users open or import SLDPRT files within the affected Autodesk application

You are affected if an Autodesk product (AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, Mechanical, MEP, Plant 3D, Civil 3D, Advance Steel, or Map 3D) is installed with a version within the ranges listed, and users process SLDPRT files with the ODXSW_DLL.dll component.
