CVE-2026-119718: Blender heap buffer overflow in ptcache_data_alloc

CVE-2026-119718 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-10-30

Blender is a 3D modeling and animation software used by creative professionals. An integer overflow vulnerability in the point cache file reading function can cause a heap buffer overflow when processing crafted .blend files with malicious cache data. An attacker can crash the application or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Blender.

Technologies: Blender Foundation Blender. Vendors: Blender Foundation.

Technical details

An integer overflow in the ptcache_data_alloc() function allows a heap buffer overflow when Blender reads point cache files with a large totpoint value. The vulnerability requires a user to open a crafted .blend file paired with a malicious point cache file. Successful exploitation leads to code execution under the user's privileges.
