An attacker may convince a victim to open a malicious action micro (.actm) file that has serialized data, which may trigger a code execution in Autodesk Advance Steel 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD Electrical 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD Mechanical 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD MEP 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD P&ID 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D 2018, Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2018, and Autodesk Civil 3D 2018.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity though user interaction is required and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 11 products from autodesk, from autodesk, from autodesk and 8 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2019, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For autodesk's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
