CVE-2023-28830
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 JT2Go (All versions < V14.2.0.5), Solid Edge SE2022 (All versions < V222.0 Update 13), Solid Edge SE2023 (All versions < V223.0 Update 4), Teamcenter Visualization V13.2 (All versions < V13.2.0.15), Teamcenter Visualization V13.3 (All versions < V13.3.0.11), Teamcenter Visualization V14.1 (All versions < V14.1.0.11), Teamcenter Visualization V14.2 (All versions < V14.2.0.5). The affected application contains a use-after-free vulnerability that could be triggered while parsing specially crafted ASM file. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability 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 confidenceA use-after-free vulnerability exists in JT2Go, Solid Edge SE2022/SE2023, and Teamcenter Visualization (multiple versions) when parsing specially crafted ASM files. The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process by exploiting the freed memory access.

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 Siemens productCheck Programs and Features or the application Help > About section for one of: JT2Go, Solid Edge SE2022, Solid Edge SE2023, or Teamcenter VisualizationAffected if Any of these products are installed
-
Determine JT2Go versionOpen JT2Go, go to Help > About JT2Go and note the version number (e.g., 14.1.0.0)Affected if Version is lower than 14.2.0.5
-
Determine Teamcenter Visualization versionOpen the application, check Help > About or right-click the executable > Properties > Details for the version field. Check all four release branches if multiple versions existAffected if Version is 13.2.0.x below 13.2.0.15, OR 13.3.0.x below 13.3.0.11, OR 14.1.0.x below 14.1.0.11, OR 14.2.0.x below 14.2.0.5
-
Determine Solid Edge SE2022 versionOpen Solid Edge SE2022, go to Help > About Solid Edge SE2022. Note the main version and any maintenance pack number displayedAffected if Any version of SE2022 is installed (all versions are affected per the advisory)
-
Determine Solid Edge SE2023 versionOpen Solid Edge SE2023, go to Help > About Solid Edge SE2023. Note the main version and update number displayedAffected if Any version of SE2023 is installed (all versions are affected per the advisory)
The environment is affected if JT2Go is below 14.2.0.5, Teamcenter Visualization falls within any of the four vulnerable version ranges, or any Solid Edge SE2022/SE2023 installation exists, since the use-after-free triggers when parsing specially crafted ASM files.
