Published Jun 17, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A maliciously crafted RFA file, when converted to FormIt via “Convert RFA to FormIt” in Autodesk Revit, can force a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability. Successful exploitation may cause the application to crash, leading to a denial-of-service condition.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability arises when a maliciously crafted RFA file is converted to FormIt in Autodesk Revit. The file parsing routine can trigger a NULL Pointer Dereference, causing the application to crash. This results in a denial-of-service condition for any user attempting the conversion operation and can disrupt workflows in shared or production environments.

Affected Systems

Autodesk Revit versions 2024.3.5, 2025.4.5, 2026.4.1, and 2027.1 are susceptible. The issue manifests in the Convert RFA to FormIt feature across these releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 reflects moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates low likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker to supply a specially crafted RFA file to a user with access to Revit; the attack vector is local or remote file upload, inferred from the workflow context. Successful exploitation would merely crash the application, yielding a denial-of-service rather than code execution or data compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Autodesk Revit patch or update when available
  • Avoid opening untrusted RFA files in the Convert RFA to FormIt workflow until a fix is released
  • Implement restricted file handling policies to prevent automatic conversion of unknown RFA files
