NVD · unedited
Trimble SketchUp Viewer SKP File Parsing Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Trimble SketchUp Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SKP files. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-24108.

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 use-after-free vulnerability exists in Trimble SketchUp Viewer's SKP file parsing logic. The code fails to validate object existence before performing operations on it, allowing an attacker who tricks a user into opening a malicious SKP file to achieve arbitrary code execution in the application's context.

MitigationAvoid opening untrusted or unexpected SKP files from unverified sources. Apply vendor patches when 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. Check if Trimble SketchUp Viewer is installed
    Look for the application in the system. On Windows, check Program Files or Program Files (x86) for a 'SketchUp' or 'Trimble SketchUp Viewer' folder. On macOS, check /Applications for SketchUp Viewer.app.
    Affected if The application is present on the system and version 22.0.316.0 is installed
  2. Determine the installed version number
    Right-click the SketchUp Viewer executable or application, select Properties, then look at the Details tab for the Version field. Alternatively, open SketchUp Viewer and check Help > About SketchUp Viewer for the exact version string.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 22.0.316.0
  3. Verify the application can process SKP files
    Check if the file association for .skp files is registered to SketchUp Viewer, or simply confirm the application can open and parse SKP files by default.
    Affected if SKP file parsing is enabled and the user can open SKP files with this application

The user is affected if Trimble SketchUp Viewer version 22.0.316.0 is installed and can open or parse SKP files.
