CVE-2021-46612

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Bentley MicroStation CONNECT version 10.16.0.80

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations. User interaction is required, where the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the parsing of PDF files, where crafted data can trigger a read past the end of an allocated buffer, allowing an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.

Recommendations For version 10.16.0.80, consider disabling the PDF parsing functionality until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to malicious PDF files to minimize the risk of code execution. Avoid opening untrusted PDF files with the affected software until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
