CVE-2022-34660
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 · uneditedA vulnerability has been identified in Teamcenter V12.4 (All versions < V12.4.0.15), Teamcenter V13.0 (All versions < V13.0.0.10), Teamcenter V13.1 (All versions < V13.1.0.10), Teamcenter V13.2 (All versions < V13.2.0.9), Teamcenter V13.3 (All versions < V13.3.0.5), Teamcenter V14.0 (All versions < V14.0.0.2). File Server Cache service in Teamcenter consist of a functionality that is vulnerable to command injection. This could potentially allow an attacker to perform remote code execution.
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 · high confidenceCommand injection vulnerability in Teamcenter's File Server Cache service allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands, potentially achieving full remote code execution on affected systems.

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.
-
Determine Teamcenter installation versionLocate the Teamcenter installation directory and check the version file or registry entry. Common paths: check the TC_ROOT\version file, or look in Windows Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siemens\Teamcenter or in the installation logs.Affected if The installed version falls within any of these ranges: >=12.4 and <12.4.0.15, >=13.0 and <13.0.0.10, >=13.1 and <13.1.0.10, >=13.2 and <13.2.0.9, >=13.3 and <13.3.0.5, or >=14.0 and <14.0.0.2
-
Verify File Server Cache service is runningCheck if the Teamcenter File Server Cache service (often named 'Teamcenter File Server Cache' or 'TcFSCache') is installed and running on the system. On Windows, use Services.msc or run 'sc query' for the service. On Linux, check for the fscache process.Affected if The File Server Cache service is installed and running on the target system.
-
Confirm File Server Cache is network exposedReview the File Server Cache configuration to determine if it is bound to a network interface and accepting remote connections. Check configuration files in the TC_ROOT\portal or TC_ROOT\fscache directories for listen addresses.Affected if File Server Cache service is accessible over the network (not localhost-only or firewalled).
If the installed Teamcenter version is within any of the affected version ranges AND the File Server Cache service is running and network-accessible, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2022-34660.

Apply the vendor-supplied patches to upgrade to V12.4.0.15, V13.0.0.10, V13.1.0.10, V13.2.0.9, V13.3.0.5, or V14.0.0.2 respectively, or later versions.
Upgrade to V12.4.0.15, V13.0.0.10, V13.1.0.10, or V13.2.0.9 (depending on current branch)
- 1. Identify the current Teamcenter version by checking the installed software or consulting the system inventory
- 2. Determine the appropriate target version based on current installation: if on 12.4.x, upgrade to V12.4.0.15; if on 13.0.x, upgrade to V13.0.0.10; if on 13.1.x, upgrade to V13.1.0.10; if on 13.2.x, upgrade to V13.2.0.9
- 3. Schedule a maintenance window as upgrades require system downtime
- 4. Perform a full backup of the Teamcenter database and file repository before proceeding
- 5. Download the applicable patch or upgrade package from Siemens PLM Software or the Siemens Customer Portal (cert-portal.siemens.com)
- 6. Follow Siemens installation documentation to apply the upgrade to the fixed version
- 7. After upgrade, verify the File Server Cache service is running correctly and confirm the version number matches the expected fixed release
- 8. Test critical Teamcenter workflows to ensure functionality is intact post-upgrade
