Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Autodesk Autodesk Softimage Xsi 6.0 and classified as very critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown part of the file WScript.Shell of the component ActiveX Control. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Autodesk Softimage 7.x and Softimage XSI 6.x allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via a scene package containing a Scene Table of Contents (aka .scntoc) file with a Script_Content element, as demonstrated by code that loads the WScript.Shell ActiveX control.
