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 untrusted or unverified OBJ files in eDrawings until an official patch is available from SOLIDWORKS. Users should only open OBJ files from trusted sources.
