It is especially dangerous when dealing with .dxf or .stl files that are sent via email or shared via UNC path. In this case, user will have to double-click on the malicious file to open it. Moreover, users should also be aware that .dxf or .stl files are often stored in remote locations, like cloud-based services, which means that they cannot be checked before opening them. Therefore, users have to be very cautious while opening such files and should only do it if they are sure that it is coming from a trusted source. Additionally, users have to be careful while working with remote locations. If a user opens a file sent from remote location, it will be stored in the remote location, which means that the file might be accessible by anyone.

How to protect your computer against CVE-2022-41190
There are two ways to protect your computer against this vulnerability:
1) Avoid opening or executing malicious files. 2) Make sure that remote locations you work with are secure.

Remote File Inclusion (RFI) and Remote File Execution (RCE)
In order to be able to execute commands on a remote system, attackers need to use the .dxf or .stl file format. This is why these files are often sent via email or shared through UNC path. These attack vectors are known as "Remote File Inclusion" and "Remote File Execution." For example, attackers can use Remote File Inclusion to send malicious code which will infect the target's computer. Then, they can use Remote File Execution to run that code. However, users should be careful while working with such remote servers and when opening such files as they may contain dangerous malware.
