How to install silently 3DxWare driver without Add-In for Navisworks

Post by aldomoro »

Hi

Our vulnerability scanner found CVE-2021-40161 on each computer where is 3DxWare driver installed. It says this CVE is connected to the Add-In for Navisworks and can lead to the memory corruption vulnerability through maliciously crafted DLL file. I found I could install 3DxWare driver without Add-In for Navisworks if I skip it during custom installation in GUI. But of course it would be better to install it remotely and silently without the add-in.

I ran this command to create a response file and during installation I removed the installation of the add-in. But I cant see in the response file that installation of the add-in will be skipped.

3DxWare64_v10-9-12_b735.exe SaveSettings="C:\users\testovic\downloads\3DxWareSetup.xml" /install

Any idea how to install silently 3DxWare driver without Add-In for Navisworks or resolve the problem with CVE-2021-40161 in another efficiency way?

Thank you, Al

I use the MSI packages instead of the EXE
