What is CVE-2024-9722?
A vulnerability exists within the Trimble SketchUp Viewer that allows remote attackers to exploit the parsing of SKP files, leading to the potential execution of arbitrary code. This vulnerability is facilitated by a use-after-free flaw, where the application fails to validate the existence of an object before performing operations on it. Attackers can leverage this issue by tricking users into opening specially crafted files or visiting deceptive web pages, thereby executing malicious code in the context of the affected application. This presents significant risks to the integrity and confidentiality of users' systems.
