CVE-2023-5180: Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability exists in ODA Drawings SDK before 2024.12

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.19% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

An issue was discovered in Open Design Alliance Drawings SDK before 2024.12. A corrupted value of number of sectors used by the Fat structure in a crafted DGN file leads to an out-of-bounds write. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
