Autodesk Revit 2024.x < 2024.3 / 2025.x < 2025.3 RFA File Parsing Buffer Overflow (ADSK-SA-2024-0017)

high Nessus Plugin ID 209290

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The version of Autodesk Revit installed on the remote Windows host is 2024.x prior to 2024.3 or 2025.x prior to 2025.3. It is, therefore, affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability:

- A maliciously crafted RFA file, when parsed through Autodesk Revit, can force a Stack-Based Buffer Overflow. 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. (CVE-2024-7994)

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 Revit 2024.3 or 2025.3 or later.
