Description
A maliciously crafted PDF file may be used to dereference a pointer for read or write operation while parsing PDF files in Autodesk Navisworks 2022. The vulnerability exists because the application fails to handle a crafted PDF file, which causes an unhandled exception. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash or read sensitive data or execute arbitrary code.
