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 DWG file, when parsed through certain Autodesk applications, can force an Out-of-Bounds Write vulnerability. A malicious actor may leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, cause data corruption, 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

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in certain Autodesk applications when parsing maliciously crafted DWG files. The vulnerability occurs during DWG file parsing, allowing a malicious actor to write data beyond allocated memory boundaries, potentially leading to code execution, crash, or data corruption.

MitigationAvoid opening DWG files from untrusted or unknown sources. Apply vendor patches for affected Autodesk products once available.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 product
    Open Windows Settings > Apps & Features or use 'Get-ItemProperty' in PowerShell to list installed programs containing 'Autodesk' or the specific product names (Advance Steel, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, etc.)
    Affected if Any of the affected products from the list is installed
  2. Find the installed version number
    Right-click the application shortcut, select Properties, and view the 'Details' tab for the product version, or run 'Get-ItemProperty' on the executable path to retrieve the FileVersion
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or does not match the product's typical versioning scheme
  3. Compare version against affected ranges
    Check if the installed version falls within any of these ranges: 2023.x (before 2023.1.7), 2024.x (before 2024.1.7), or 2025.x (before 2025.1.2)
    Affected if The installed version is 2023.1.7 or higher, 2024.1.7 or higher, or 2025.1.2 or higher - these are patched versions
  4. Verify DWG file parsing capability
    Confirm the installed product supports DWG file operations - all listed products (AutoCAD, Advance Steel, AutoCAD Architecture/Electrical/LT/Map 3D/Mechanical/MEP) can open and parse DWG files by default
    Affected if The product can open DWG files (which is the default behavior for all listed applications)

You are affected if you have any of the listed Autodesk products installed with version 2023.x before 2023.1.7, 2024.x before 2024.1.7, or 2025.x before 2025.1.2, and the application can process DWG files (which is the default functionality).

Recommended fix High confidence

AutoCAD 2023.1.7 or later; 2024.1.7 or later; 2025.1.2 or later (depending on your product version)

  1. Identify the specific Autodesk product and version (2023, 2024, or 2025) currently installed
  2. For AutoCAD 2023 and verticals: Upgrade to version 2023.1.7 or later
  3. For AutoCAD 2024 and verticals: Upgrade to version 2024.1.7 or later
  4. For AutoCAD 2025 and verticals: Upgrade to version 2025.1.2 or later
  5. Download the update from the Autodesk Account portal or use the Autodesk Desktop App to install the update
  6. Restart the application after installation
