What is CVE-2024-8813?

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the PDF-XChange Editor due to improper validation of user-supplied data during U3D file parsing. This oversight can lead to an out-of-bounds write, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected process. Exploitation requires user interaction, as the victim must either visit a specially crafted web page or open a malicious file containing the vulnerable U3D content.
