CVE-2026-119719: Blender heap buffer overflow in thumbnail extractor

CVE-2026-119719 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-10-30

Blender, a 3D modeling and animation software, contains a heap buffer overflow in its thumbnail preview functionality. An attacker can craft a malicious .blend file that causes a crash or executes arbitrary code when the file is previewed by Blender's thumbnail tool or Windows shell extension, potentially compromising systems that routinely open or preview untrusted .blend files.

Technologies: Blender Foundation Blender. Vendors: Blender Foundation.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: Blender 4.5.15, 5.2.3

Technical details

A 32-bit integer overflow in the thumb_data_vertical_flip() function within the blend file thumbnail extractor allows a heap buffer overflow when processing TEST block dimensions. The vulnerability is triggered via crafted .blend files with malicious dimensions, leading to out-of-bounds writes. An attacker needs a user to preview or open the malicious .blend file; remote code execution is possible.
