Autodesk 3ds Max < 2026.3.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 298246

Synopsis

An updater application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a XXE vulnerability.

Description

The version of Autodesk 3ds Max installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2026.3.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- A maliciously crafted GIF file, when parsed through Autodesk 3ds Max, can cause a Stack-Based Buffer Overflow vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. (CVE-2026-0536)

- A maliciously crafted RGB file, when parsed through Autodesk 3ds Max, can force a Memory Corruption vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. (CVE-2026-0537)

- A maliciously crafted GIF file, when parsed through Autodesk 3ds Max, can force an Out-of-Bounds Write vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. (CVE-2026-0538)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Autodesk 3ds Max 2026.3.2 or later.
