Use-After-Free Flaw in Trimble SketchUp Viewer Leading to Remote Code Execution

CVE-2024-9724

What is CVE-2024-9724?

An identified vulnerability in Trimble SketchUp Viewer pertains to the parsing of SKP files, wherein an attacker can exploit a use-after-free flaw. This occurs due to insufficient validation of an object's existence before operations are executed. Exploitation requires user interaction, as the target must engage with a malicious page or open a compromised SKP file. Successfully executing this attack grants an adversary the ability to execute arbitrary code within the context of the current process, potentially leading to severe impacts on the system's integrity and security.
