A Use-After-Free vulnerability in SLDPRT file reading procedure exists in SOLIDWORKS Desktop from Release SOLIDWORKS 2021 through Release SOLIDWORKS 2023. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code while opening a specially crafted SLDPRT file.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
