CVE-2025-0831
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 · uneditedOut-Of-Bounds Read vulnerability exists in the JT file reading procedure in SOLIDWORKS eDrawings on Release SOLIDWORKS Desktop 2025. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code while opening a specially crafted JT file.
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 confidenceAn out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the JT file parsing component of SOLIDWORKS eDrawings 2025. When processing a specially crafted malicious JT file, the parser reads memory beyond allocated buffer boundaries, which can be leveraged for arbitrary code execution.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm eDrawings 2025 installationCheck for SOLIDWORKS eDrawings 2025 in the list of installed programs via Windows Settings > Apps & Features, or query the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for entries containing 'eDrawings' and version '2025'.Affected if eDrawings 2025 is listed as installed
-
Identify installed eDrawings versionLocate the eDrawings executable (typically in C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS eDrawings 2025\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\SOLIDWORKS eDrawings 2025\) and check its file properties to obtain the exact version number.Affected if The installed version matches the 2025 release line and is prior to any vendor patch
-
Verify JT file handling capabilityConfirm that the JT file type handler is registered on the system by checking file association for .jt files or by attempting to open a JT file with eDrawings.Affected if JT files can be opened or previewed by eDrawings 2025 on the system
-
Check for active JT file processingReview any recent file access logs or the application's recent documents list for .jt file activity, or manually attempt to load a JT file in eDrawings to confirm the parser is functional.Affected if The JT parsing component is functional and accessible to the user
A system is affected if SOLIDWORKS eDrawings 2025 is installed and capable of processing JT files, since the vulnerability triggers upon parsing a malicious JT file through the parser component.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataAvoid opening JT files from untrusted sources until the vendor releases a patch; implement email/web filtering to block untrusted .jt file attachments as a compensating control.
