CVE-2023-1288
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 · uneditedAn XML External Entity injection (XXE) vulnerability in ENOVIA Live Collaboration V6R2013xE allows an attacker to read local files on the server.
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 confidenceAn XML External Entity injection (XXE) vulnerability in ENOVIA Live Collaboration V6R2013xE allows attackers to read local files on the server by crafting malicious XML payloads with external entity references.

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.
-
Identify installed ENOVIA Live Collaboration versionAccess the application administration interface or check system configuration files for the exact version number of 3ds Enovia Live CollaborationAffected if The version is 6R2013xE or later but earlier than v6r2013xe_fp.cfa.2240
-
Locate XML processing configuration filesSearch for XML parser or configuration files in the application directory structure, typically under the Live Collaboration configuration foldersAffected if Configuration files exist and the application accepts XML input through web endpoints or import functions
-
Verify XML input acceptanceCheck if the application exposes endpoints that accept XML data, such as XML import, data upload, or integration interfacesAffected if The application processes XML payloads from users or external systems
-
Check XML parser security settingsExamine XML parser configuration for external entity processing settings - look for flags related to DTD processing, external entity resolution, or XXE protectionAffected if The XML parser has XXE protection disabled or not explicitly configured to block external entities (no explicit disabling of external entity processing)
The environment is affected if running 3ds Enovia Live Collaboration version 6R2013xE through v6r2013xe_fp.cfa.2239 and the application processes XML input without XXE protections configured.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scopedDisable XML external entity (XXE) processing in the XML parser configuration and implement input validation to reject XML containing DTDs or external entity declarations.
v6r2013xe_fp.cfa.2240
- 1. Verify current Enovia Live Collaboration version is >= v6r2013xe and < v6r2013xe_fp.cfa.2240
- 2. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
- 3. Perform a full backup of the Enovia Live Collaboration database and configuration files
- 4. Download the fixed version v6r2013xe_fp.cfa.2240 from the official Dassault Systèmes 3DS support portal (www.3ds.com)
- 5. Install the upgrade following the official Enovia upgrade documentation
- 6. After upgrade, verify the version is v6r2013xe_fp.cfa.2240 or later
- 7. Test that the application functions normally post-upgrade
