How the Exploit Works
The exploit is based on an Out-Of-Bounds Read vulnerability in the PAR file reading procedure of SOLIDWORKS eDrawings. An attacker crafts a malicious PAR file and manipulates a user into opening it using the affected software. Once the file is opened, the vulnerability allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising the system or causing data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
This is a conceptual example of how an attack might occur. The attacker would craft a malicious PAR file
$ cat << EOF > exploit.par
[Insert malicious code here]
EOFThen, the attacker would convince the user to open this malicious PAR file using the vulnerable version of SOLIDWORKS eDrawings. When the user opens the file, the malicious code gets executed, thereby exploiting the vulnerability.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor-provided patch as soon as possible. In the interim, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation. Regularly updating and patching software is vital to maintaining a secure system environment.
