CVE-2025-10886
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 · uneditedA maliciously crafted MODEL file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force a Memory corruption vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to 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 · moderate confidenceMemory corruption vulnerability in Autodesk products when parsing specially crafted MODEL files. A malicious actor can create a malformed MODEL file that triggers memory corruption during parsing, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process.

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.
-
Identify installed Autodesk productsReview installed programs on the system for Autodesk applications such as AutoCAD, Maya, 3ds Max, Revit, or other Autodesk software that utilizes the Shared ComponentsAffected if Any Autodesk product is installed on the system
-
Locate Autodesk Shared Components versionCheck the version of the Autodesk Shared Components library installed on the system. This is typically found within the Autodesk product installation directory or through the product's About/Help information. Compare the version number against the 2026.5 threshold.Affected if The installed Autodesk Shared Components version is lower than 2026.5
-
Determine MODEL file parsing capabilityIdentify whether the Autodesk software on the system is configured to parse or open MODEL files. MODEL files are a proprietary format used by Autodesk applications.Affected if The installed Autodesk software can open or parse MODEL files and the Shared Components version is below 2026.5
The environment is affected if any Autodesk product with Shared Components version below 2026.5 is installed and the software is capable of parsing MODEL files.

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.
dbcve · scoped2026.5
Apply vendor patches from Autodesk when available. Until patches are released, exercise caution when opening MODEL files from untrusted sources and consider implementing file type restrictions or sandboxing for affected applications.
2026.5
- Identify the specific Autodesk product(s) using the affected Shared Components in your environment
- Obtain the updated version 2026.5 or later of the affected Autodesk product(s) from the official Autodesk website or distribution channel
- Backup all critical project data and configurations before performing the upgrade
- Install the updated Autodesk product version 2026.5 or later following the vendor's standard installation procedures
- Verify the installation was successful and that the Shared Components version reflects 2026.5 or higher
- Test that MODEL file parsing functionality works correctly with the updated version
