## What is CVE-2022-33886?

CVE-2022-33886 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Autodesk Autocad, published on 3 Oct 2022. 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

A maliciously crafted MODEL and SLDPRT file can be used to write beyond the allocated buffer while parsing through Autodesk AutoCAD 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and Maya 2023 and 2022. The vulnerability exists because the application fails to handle crafted MODEL and SLDPRT files, which causes an unhandled exception. A malicious actor could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.

Weakness: CWE-755 (Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2022-33886 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-33886 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Autodesk Autocad, published on 3 Oct 2022. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-33886 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Autodesk Autocad. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
