What is CVE-2022-28306?

CVE-2022-28306 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Bentley Microstation, published on 29 Mar 2023. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Bentley MicroStation CONNECT 10.16.02.034. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of OBJ files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-16174.
