CVE-2022-32235
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedWhen a user opens manipulated AutoCAD (.dwg, TeighaTranslator.exe) files received from untrusted sources in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer, the application crashes and becomes temporarily unavailable to the user until restart of the application.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is a denial-of-service vulnerability in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer where opening specially crafted AutoCAD (.dwg) files from untrusted sources causes the TeighaTranslator.exe component to crash, rendering the application unavailable until restart.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is installedLook for the application in Add/Remove Programs (Windows) or check for the installation directory under Program Files, typically named 'SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer'. Also check the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for entries containing 'SAP' and '3D Visual Enterprise Viewer'.Affected if The application is found installed on the system
-
Identify the installed versionRight-click the main application executable (usually named something like 'SAP3DVisualEnterpriseViewer.exe' in the installation folder) and select Properties, then check the Details tab for the File Version. Alternatively, check the registry uninstall entry for the DisplayVersion value.Affected if The version number is 9.0 or lower (any version <= 9.0)
-
Verify TeighaTranslator.exe component existsNavigate to the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer installation directory (typically in Program Files or Program Files (x86)) and check for the presence of TeighaTranslator.exe. This is the component that processes .dwg files and crashes.Affected if TeighaTranslator.exe is present in the application directory
-
Confirm .dwg file handling capabilityCheck if the application has file association handlers configured for .dwg files. This can be verified by searching the Windows registry under HKCR\.dwg or by attempting to open a .dwg file with the viewer to see if it attempts processing.Affected if The application is configured to open or process .dwg AutoCAD files
If SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer version 9.0 or lower is installed with the TeighaTranslator.exe component and is configured to handle .dwg files, the environment is affected by this CVE.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUsers should refrain from opening AutoCAD files from untrusted or unknown sources. Consider implementing file origin warnings or restricting file type handling from external sources.
