CVE-2025-53010 Details
Description
MaterialX is an open standard for the exchange of rich material and look-development content across applications and renderers. In version 1.39.2, when parsing shader nodes in a MTLX file, the MaterialXCore code accesses a potentially null pointer, which can lead to crashes with maliciously crafted files. An attacker could intentionally crash a target program that uses OpenEXR by sending a malicious MTLX file. This is fixed in version 1.39.3.
A null pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in MaterialX version 1.39.2. When the MaterialXCore library parses shader nodes from a MTLX file, it can inadvertently access a null pointer. This issue arises in the 'getShaderNodes' function within 'Material.cpp', where the code fails to properly check if a node graph output string is valid before attempting to retrieve connected output nodes. As a result, a maliciously crafted MTLX file can cause programs using OpenEXR to crash.
Users can upgrade to MaterialX version 1.39.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
