CVE-2022-45792
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 · uneditedProject files may contain malicious contents which the software will use to create files on the filesystem. This allows directory traversal and overwriting files with the privileges of the logged-in user.
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 confidenceThe vulnerability is a path traversal issue where project files containing malicious path information are processed by the software to create files on the filesystem without proper validation. An authenticated attacker can craft project files with directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../) to write files to arbitrary locations on the system with the privileges of the logged-in user.

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.
-
Verify Omron Sysmac Studio is installedCheck for Omron Sysmac Studio in the system registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, or look in standard program installation directoriesAffected if Omron Sysmac Studio is found on the system
-
Determine the installed versionOpen Sysmac Studio and navigate to Help > About, or locate the main executable file and view its version properties, or check the version listed in Add or Remove ProgramsAffected if The installed version is below 1.54.0
-
Assess project file processing capabilityDetermine if the installation can open, import, or process project files created by other users or obtained from external sourcesAffected if Users can import or open project files from other sources within Sysmac Studio
-
Check authentication contextIdentify whether the Sysmac Studio installation allows or expects user authentication, as the vulnerability requires an authenticated attackerAffected if The software is used in an environment where users authenticate to access project functionality
System is affected if Omron Sysmac Studio version is below 1.54.0 and users can process project files from other users or untrusted sources while authenticated

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.
dbcve · scoped1.54.0
Implement strict input validation and path sanitization on file paths extracted from project files before use in file creation operations. Use allow-list validation, canonicalize paths to resolve traversal sequences, and restrict file creation to expected directories.
Sysmac Studio 1.54.0
- Backup all existing Sysmac Studio project files before upgrading
- Download Sysmac Studio version 1.54.0 or later from the official Omron website (https://www.omron.com/)
- Run the installer with administrator privileges
- Follow the on-screen installation prompts to complete the upgrade
- Launch Sysmac Studio after installation to verify the upgrade was successful
- Test existing project files to ensure they open correctly in the new version
