Other vulnerabilities in Assimp
See all- CVE-2025-70067Critical
A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Assimp library up to version 6.0.2 in the FBX Importer. The issue occurs in aiMaterial::AddBinaryProperty, where a property key string from a crafted FBX file is copied into a fixed-size heap buffer using strcpy() without runtime length validation.
- CVE-2026-117608Medium
Assimp through 6.0.5 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in MD2Importer::ValidateHeader() that allows attackers to bypass frame table bounds checks using crafted header fields. Attackers can supply a malicious .md2 file whose numFrames and numVertices values wrap the 32-bit size check, causing heap out-of-bounds reads that crash applications or expose adjacent heap memory.
- CVE-2026-111129Medium
Open Asset Import Library (assimp) through 6.0.5 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Ogre3D binary mesh importer's OgreBinarySerializer::ReadAnimationKeyFrames() handling of unvalidated animation track targets. Attackers can supply a crafted .mesh file with a morph animation track targeting a missing submesh or absent shared geometry to crash the host process.
- CVE-2026-111128Medium
Assimp through 6.0.5 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Ogre3D importer that allows attackers to crash applications via unvalidated bone indices in OgreStructs.cpp. Attackers can supply a crafted .mesh and .skeleton file referencing a missing bone, causing BoneById() to return null and crash the host process.
- CVE-2026-108573Medium
A vulnerability was detected in Open Asset Import Library Assimp up to 6.0.5. Affected by this vulnerability is the function IOStreamBuffer::getNextBlock of the component PLY File Handler. Performing a manipulation results in out-of-bounds read. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
- CVE-2026-82591Medium
A security vulnerability has been detected in Open Asset Import Library Assimp up to 6.0.2. The impacted element is the function MD5Importer::MakeDataUnique of the file code/AssetLib/MD5/MD5Loader.cpp. The manipulation of the argument iNewIndex leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The identifier of the patch is bf9dabb617c46e5133dac65cca6bff177917afcb. Applying a patch is the recommended action to fix this issue.
- CVE-2026-19999Medium
A vulnerability has been detected in the Assimp library (Open Asset Import Library) version 17c12da. The issue affects the function Assimp::MDLImporter::ParseBoneTrafoKeys_3DGS_MDL7 in file code/AssetLib/MDL/MDLLoader.cpp, where manipulation of arguments transmatrix_count/pcBoneTransforms leads to buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely, and the exploit is publicly available.
- CVE-2026-19970Medium
A vulnerability was detected in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 17c12da. This affects the function Assimp::MDLImporter::AddBonesToNodeGraph_3DGS_MDL7 of the file code/AssetLib/MDL/MDLLoader.cpp of the component Node Parser. The manipulation of the argument bones_num results in heap-based buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
- CVE-2026-19969Medium
A security vulnerability has been detected in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 17c12da. The impacted element is the function Assimp::MDLImporter::GenerateOutputMeshes_3DGS_MDL7 of the file code/AssetLib/MDL/MDLLoader.cpp of the component 3DGS MDL7 Model Output Mesh Generator. The manipulation leads to buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
- CVE-2026-19967Medium
A security flaw has been discovered in Open Asset Import Library Assimp 17c12da in the function Assimp::Compression::decompressBlock of the file code/Common/Compression.cpp of the File Parser component. Manipulation results in a heap-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely, and the exploit has been released publicly.
