What is CVE-2025-53012?

In version 1.39.2 of MaterialX, a serious vulnerability exists due to an absence of limits on the depth of nested imports. This oversight allows an attacker to create a long chain of MaterialX file imports that can lead to stack memory exhaustion, causing the application to crash. By leveraging this vulnerability, malicious users can exploit the recursive parsing function without restrictions. This bug has been addressed and resolved in version 1.39.3, emphasizing the importance of keeping software updated to mitigate security risks.
