Code Injection in FreeCAD (CVE-2026-34789)
Summary
Code injection in FreeCAD (CVE-2026-34789). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
FreeCAD is a free and open-source multiplatform 3D parametric modeler. Prior to 1.1.2, src/App/PropertyPythonObject.cpp in PropertyPythonObject::Restore() passes the attacker-controlled module attribute from serialized PropertyPythonObject XML directly to PyImport_ImportModule() while restoring a crafted FCStd document, which executes module-level Python code, and the legacy pickle branch also imports an attacker-controlled module and invokes its class constructor through PyObject_CallObject(). This issue is fixed in version 1.1.2.
