CVE-2026-16782: SVG File Parsing Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability in Autodesk 3ds Max

HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.36% (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.
  • Fixed version: Autodesk 3ds Max 2026.3.4, 2027.2.0.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 5.3, NVD 7.8.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Autodesk 3ds Max 2026.3.4, 2027.2.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A maliciously crafted SVG file, when parsed through Autodesk 3ds Max, can force an Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash, read sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
