CVE-2023-24555
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 Solid Edge SE2022 (All versions < V222.0MP12), Solid Edge SE2023 (All versions < V223.0Update2). The affected applications contain an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated structure while parsing specially crafted PAR files. This could allow an attacker 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 confidenceAn out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Solid Edge when parsing specially crafted PAR files. The vulnerability occurs when the parser reads past the end of an allocated memory structure, which can be leveraged by an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process.

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 Solid Edge versionOpen Solid Edge and navigate to Help > About Solid Edge, or check the installation directory for version information. The version number will display in format like V222.0MP12 or 2210.0002.004Affected if Version is Se2022 with any listed maintenance pack (MP1-MP11) or Se2023 with version below 2210.0002.004
-
Confirm PAR file handling capabilityVerify that the Solid Edge installation includes the PAR file parser component. This is typically included in standard installations and enables opening .par files through File > OpenAffected if PAR file parsing functionality is present and enabled in the installation
-
Check for untrusted PAR file exposureReview recent file open operations or examine the Solid Edge file recent list for .par files, particularly from unknown or untrusted sourcesAffected if The system has recently opened or is likely to open untrusted PAR files from unknown sources
You are affected if you have an affected Solid Edge version (Se2022 any MP or Se2023 below 2210.0002.004) and use the PAR file parsing feature with files from untrusted sources.
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 · scoped2210.0002.004
Apply the vendor-supplied updates: upgrade Solid Edge SE2022 to version V222.0MP12 or later, and SE2023 to V223.0Update2 or later. Until patches are applied, avoid opening untrusted PAR files from unknown sources.
Solid Edge SE2022: V222.0MP12 or later; Solid Edge SE2023: V223.0Update2 (2210.0002.004)
- Identify current Solid Edge version by opening the application and navigating to Help > About Solid Edge
- For Solid Edge SE2022 users: Upgrade to version V222.0MP12 or later
- For Solid Edge SE2023 users: Upgrade to version V223.0Update2 (version 2210.0002.004 or later)
- Obtain the update from Siemens PLM Downloads portal or your authorized Siemens distributor
- Apply the upgrade by running the installer with administrative privileges
- Restart Solid Edge after the upgrade completes
- Verify the installed version matches the fixed release (V222.0MP12 or later for SE2022, V223.0Update2 for SE2023)
