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 SE2022 (All versions), Solid Edge SE2023 (All versions < V223.0Update2). The affected application contains a memory corruption vulnerability while parsing specially crafted DWG files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-19069)

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

This is a memory corruption vulnerability in Solid Edge CAD software that triggers when parsing specially crafted DWG files. The vulnerability allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process by causing a buffer overflow or similar memory safety flaw during DWG file parsing.

MitigationUpdate Solid Edge SE2022 to V222.0MP12 or later, and SE2023 to V223.0Update2 or later. Until patched, avoid opening DWG files from untrusted 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. Identify if Solid Edge is installed
    Check for Solid Edge installation in typical locations: 'C:\Program Files\Siemens\Solid Edge' on Windows, or search for 'solid.exe' or 'Edge' executable in program files. Use PowerShell: Get-ChildItem 'C:\Program Files\Siemens' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    Affected if Solid Edge software is present on the system
  2. Determine installed Solid Edge version
    Locate the main executable (typically 'SolidEdge.exe' or 'edge.exe') in the installation folder, right-click and select Properties, then check the 'Details' tab for Product Version, or use PowerShell: (Get-Item 'C:\Program Files\Siemens\Solid Edge\Program\SolidEdge.exe').VersionInfo.ProductVersion
    Affected if Version displayed is lower than 2210.0002.004 for Solid Edge SE2023
  3. Verify DWG import capability is present
    Solid Edge includes DWG file import by default as part of its CAD functionality. Confirm the installation includes the DWG translator component by checking for 'DWG' or 'Import' options within the application's File menu or by locating translator DLLs in the installation directory
    Affected if DWG import functionality exists in the installation (which is the default state for Solid Edge)
  4. Confirm DWG parsing is accessible to current user
    Verify the user has access to open or import DWG files within Solid Edge. Launch Solid Edge and attempt to use File > Open or File > Import to browse for .dwg files, or check file association registrations for .dwg files
    Affected if User can access DWG file parsing features without administrative restrictions

The environment is affected if Solid Edge SE2023 is installed with a version number below 2210.0002.004 and the user can access DWG file parsing functionality.
