Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-60749 is a high-severity DLL hijacking issue in Trimble SketchUp desktop 2025. A local authenticated attacker could potentially cause SketchUp’s web helper process to load a malicious libcef.dll, leading to code execution with serious confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority workstation risk for environments using SketchUp 2025. Prioritize inventory and vendor update checks, especially on shared or developer workstations where local file-write opportunities are more common.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-427: uncontrolled search path element. The affected component is sketchup_webhelper.exe loading a crafted libcef.dll in SketchUp desktop 2025. CVSS 3.1 is 7.8: local attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and high C/I/A impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely on Windows endpoints running Trimble SketchUp desktop 2025. The provided CVE data does not include precise affected versions, CPEs, vulnerable paths, or fixed build numbers.
Exploitation context
No active exploitation is stated in the provided sources, and the CVE is not marked KEV. Exploitation requires local privileges and depends on DLL search path or file placement conditions around SketchUp’s web helper process.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE description, CVSS vector, CWE classification, and referenced public pages. The provided data does not name fixed builds, exact vulnerable file locations, or confirmed exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation direction
- Check Trimble SketchUp guidance for fixed versions or vendor-recommended mitigations.
- Update SketchUp desktop 2025 if a corrected release is available.
- Restrict write access to SketchUp installation and application directories.
- Monitor for unexpected libcef.dll files near SketchUp components.
- Use endpoint controls to block untrusted DLL loading where feasible.
Validation and detection
- Inventory endpoints running SketchUp desktop 2025.
- Confirm installed SketchUp builds against vendor security guidance.
- Review directory permissions for SketchUp-related paths.
- Look for unauthorized or recently created libcef.dll files.
- Check EDR telemetry for suspicious SketchUp web helper process behavior.
