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 · unedited
A vulnerability has been identified in Solid Edge SE2022 (All versions < V222.0MP12), Solid Edge SE2023 (All versions < V223.0Update2). The affected application contains an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated buffer while parsing a specially crafted PAR file. This could allow an attacker to to execute code in the context of the current process.

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 confidence

Solid Edge contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing specially crafted PAR files. The vulnerability occurs when the application reads past the end of an allocated buffer during PAR file parsing, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user process.

MitigationApply vendor patches: upgrade Solid Edge SE2022 to V222.0MP12 or later, and SE2023 to V223.0Update2 or later. Additionally, avoid opening untrusted PAR files from unknown sources.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Solid Edge installation
    Check for Solid Edge installation directory at typical locations such as C:\Program Files\Siemens\Solid Edge_<version> or look for the executable file 'solidedge.exe' in common program folders.
    Affected if Solid Edge is installed on the system
  2. Determine installed Solid Edge version
    Right-click on solidedge.exe, select Properties, then view the Details tab to find the Product Version. Alternatively, open Solid Edge and navigate to Help > About Solid Edge to display version information.
    Affected if The version displayed matches any of the affected Se2022 or Se2023 version ranges
  3. Compare version against affected Se2022 range
    For Solid Edge Se2022, any version is affected according to the advisory. Check if the version string contains '2022' or matches any of the listed maintenance packs (MP1 through MP11).
    Affected if The installed version is Solid Edge Se2022 of any maintenance pack version
  4. Compare version against affected Se2023 range
    For Solid Edge Se2023, versions prior to 2210.0002.004 are affected. Check if the product version shown in the executable properties or About dialog is less than 2210.0002.004.
    Affected if The installed version is Solid Edge Se2023 and the version number is lower than 2210.0002.004
  5. Assess PAR file usage exposure
    Identify if the system routinely opens PAR (Part) files, which are native Solid Edge part files. Check recent documents, file associations, or user workflows that involve opening PAR files from external or untrusted sources.
    Affected if Users on the system open PAR files from untrusted sources using a vulnerable version of Solid Edge

The user is affected if Solid Edge Se2022 of any version or Solid Edge Se2023 version lower than 2210.0002.004 is installed and the application is used to open PAR files, particularly from untrusted sources.

Interim mitigation

Apply vendor patches: upgrade Solid Edge SE2022 to V222.0MP12 or later, and SE2023 to V223.0Update2 or later. Additionally, avoid opening untrusted PAR files from unknown sources.

Recommended fix High confidence

Solid Edge SE2022 V222.0MP12 or later; Solid Edge SE2023 V223.0Update2 (2210.0002.004) or later

  1. Identify current Solid Edge version (SE2022 or SE2023) via Help > About Solid Edge
  2. For Solid Edge SE2022: Upgrade to version V222.0MP12 or later
  3. For Solid Edge SE2023: Upgrade to version V223.0Update2 (build 2210.0002.004) or later
  4. Obtain the update from the official Siemens support portal or through your existing maintenance/ licensing portal
  5. Apply the update and restart the application
  6. Verify the installed version matches or exceeds the fixed release
