CVE-2025-7497
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 PRT file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, 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 · moderate confidenceA maliciously crafted PRT file parsed by affected Autodesk products contains specially malformed data that causes an out-of-bounds memory write operation during parsing. This memory corruption vulnerability can be leveraged by an attacker to crash the application, corrupt data, or achieve arbitrary code execution within the context of the running 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.
-
Check installed Autodesk Shared Components versionLocate and inspect the Autodesk Shared Components installation directory, typically found in the Autodesk application folder. Look for version information in the component's properties, manifest file, or version resource. Compare this version to 2026.2.Affected if The installed Autodesk Shared Components version equals 2026.2 exactly.
-
Identify products using Autodesk Shared ComponentsReview installed Autodesk products that depend on shared components for file parsing. Check product about information or installation logs for shared component dependency details.Affected if Any installed Autodesk product relies on Shared Components version 2026.2.
-
Verify PRT file processing capabilityCheck whether the Autodesk product has PRT file import or processing functionality enabled. Look for PRT-related plugins, extensions, or file type associations in the application's configuration or preferences.Affected if PRT file processing is enabled or available in the installed Autodesk product.
-
Review recent PRT file activityExamine application logs, recent files lists, or temp directories for evidence of recent PRT file openings. Check the application's file open history or recent documents folder.Affected if PRT files have been opened recently using the affected product.
-
Inspect application crash or error logsReview Windows Event Viewer, application-specific logs, or crash dump files for any crashes or exceptions related to PRT file parsing. Look for memory corruption indicators or out-of-bounds access errors.Affected if Crashes or memory errors have occurred when processing PRT files.
You are affected if Autodesk Shared Components version 2026.2 is installed AND your product can process PRT files, especially if you have opened PRT files from untrusted sources.

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 dataUsers should avoid opening PRT files from untrusted or unknown sources. Apply vendor patches from Autodesk when available, and consider implementing file type validation and sandboxing for PRT file processing operations.
