Maya2023.3 Security Warnings and DCF_updateViewportList error crashing the file

[divya_mulawekar]

Hello, I have rigged a character using advanced skeleton in Maya 2023.3

Now whenever I am trying to open the file keeping Execute Script Node OFF, it is giving security warnings. After clicking on Allow to all the pop up warnings and Deny to warning in the attached image, file opens with the errors :

1 .# Error: line 1: SystemError: file <maya console> line 1: BuiltInsHook: User deny call of original builtins function: exec

and

2.  // Error: line 1: Cannot find procedure "DCF_updateViewportList".. 

in script editor

Also, Maya crashes whenever

1. I try to open the file keeping Execute Script Node ON

2. I try to import the file as a Reference.

for this, please try to add an additional module in preferences > Security > python Modules > Trusted Modules > Add = ast

try to open again

Hello, thank you for the reply. I tried the given solution. But doesn't seem to solve the problem. While opening the file, the same error pops up. So I click on Remove button, then the same error pop ups again twice. Then again I click on Remove both times. This happens every time when I open any maya file in Maya 2023.

Hi,

What if you uncheck the preference below before loading the file?

This should skip the uiConfiguration stuff in the Maya file and if it loads fine you can save a new version of the file.

Alright, I get it. Hopefully, some third-party plugins are the cause of this issue. As of right now, we can resolve this problem by checking the box and choosing Remove in that alert window.

then close the scene file after saving it. Periodically, a warning might appear when you close the scene file; heed it. It seems to be working well for me if I simply check the box below and remove it. please save the scene file once you remove the warning. if the issue still present and you really want to get rid of it then disable the Mel security preference (Not recommended by Autodesk)
