The Micrografx Designer v4 graphic file is a proprietary vector image format developed by Micrografx and currently owned by Corel. It was used for creating engineering diagrams, architectural layouts, and technical vector illustrations within industrial and design environments. This version is a legacy format with no known security vulnerabilities because it contains static graphical data rather than executable code, though compatibility with modern software is limited.

How to validate .ds4 files in Python

Python
def is_ds4(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid DS4 by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x52, 0x49, 0x46, 0x46, 0x41, 0x56, 0x49, 0x20, 0x4C, 0x49, 0x53, 0x54])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(12) == signature

How to validate .ds4 files in Node.js

Node.js
function isDS4(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x52, 0x49, 0x46, 0x46, 0x41, 0x56, 0x49, 0x20, 0x4C, 0x49, 0x53, 0x54]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 12).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsDS4(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x52, 0x49, 0x46, 0x46, 0x41, 0x56, 0x49, 0x20, 0x4C, 0x49, 0x53, 0x54}
    if len(data) < 12 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:12], signature)
}
