ZDI rates CVE-2026-92211 at 7.8; library interaction is required and no fix is listed.
Double Free RCE in Pixar OpenUSD Crate File Parsing
Pixar Animation Studio OpenUSD has a double free flaw in its parsing of USDC and USDZ crate files. Attackers can trigger remote code execution by interacting with the library to parse these files without validating object existence before freeing operations. This affects users of OpenUSD who process such files.
