CVE-2026-10200: Assimp heap overflow in glTFCommon 4x4 Matrix Parser

CVE-2026-10200 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-05-31

Assimp is a widely used library for importing various 3D model formats into applications. A vulnerability in its 4x4 matrix parser could allow a local attacker to cause a system crash or potentially execute unauthorized code by providing a specially crafted 3D file. This could impact the stability of applications using the library and potentially lead to unauthorized access to local data.

Technologies: Assimp. Vendors: Assimp.

Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Assimp versions up to 6.0.4 within the glTFCommon::CopyValue function in glTFCommon.h. The issue occurs during the parsing of 4x4 matrices when the input data is insufficient or malformed, leading to out-of-bounds memory access. An attacker with local access can exploit this by providing a malicious glTF file to an application using the library. Successful exploitation could result in a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution in the context of the application. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been disclosed.
