Vulnerabilities

Trimble SketchUp SKP File Parsing Uninitialized Variable Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Trimble SketchUp. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SKP files. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-25210.

Trimble Cityworks, a GIS-based asset management platform used largely by local governments and utilities, contains a deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502). An authenticated user triggers the flaw by submitting maliciously crafted serialized input to the Cityworks web application. Successful exploitation yields remote code execution on the underlying Microsoft IIS web server hosting the product. Any organization running Cityworks on IIS is affected, especially where the server is internet-facing. The flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-02-07, confirming exploitation in the wild; no public PoC is known, CVSS scoring is pending, and EPSS assigns roughly a 31% probability of exploitation within 30 days.

Do: Patch or apply Trimble's mitigations to all Cityworks/IIS servers per vendor instructions, as required by the CISA KEV listing, and discontinue use if mitigations are unavailable. Because exploitation requires authentication, review and rotate Cityworks accounts and credentials, and inspect IIS/application logs on exposed servers for signs of compromise (ransomware use is unconfirmed but possible).

Trimble SketchUp SKP File Parsing Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Trimble SketchUp. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SKP files. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-19631.

Trimble SketchUp Viewer SKP File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Trimble SketchUp Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SKP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-19575.

Trimble SketchUp Viewer SKP File Parsing Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Trimble SketchUp Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SKP files. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-21787.
