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 SE2023 (All versions < V223.0 Update 10). 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 confidence

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Solid Edge SE2023 (versions prior to V223.0 Update 10) when parsing PAR files. The vulnerability occurs when the application reads past the end of an allocated memory structure during file parsing, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user process via a specially crafted malicious PAR file.

MitigationUpgrade Solid Edge SE2023 to version V223.0 Update 10 or later to patch the vulnerability. Avoid opening untrusted or unsolicited PAR files from unknown sources as a compensating control until the update is applied.

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 installed Solid Edge SE2023 version
    Open Solid Edge SE2023, then navigate to Help > About, or locate the main executable (typically named 'Edge.exe' or 'SolidEdge.exe' in the installation directory) and view its File Properties > Details to find the Product Version
    Affected if The version listed is less than 223.0 or equals exactly 223.0 (prior to Update 10)
  2. Verify PAR file parsing capability is present
    Confirm the Solid Edge SE2023 installation includes the PAR file import/parser component; this is typically included by default in standard installations
    Affected if The PAR parser module exists in the installation, which is the default state for typical Solid Edge SE2023 installs
  3. Determine if PAR files are processed in the environment
    Search for .PAR files on local drives or check recent document history within Solid Edge SE2023 if accessible, or examine the application's file open dialog to confirm PAR support is available
    Affected if PAR file parsing functionality is enabled and available in the installation (this is true for default installations)

If Solid Edge SE2023 is installed with a version less than V223.0 Update 10 and the PAR file parser component is present, the environment is vulnerable to out-of-bounds read via malicious PAR files.

Upgrade Solid Edge SE2023 to version V223.0 Update 10 or later to patch the vulnerability. Avoid opening untrusted or unsolicited PAR files from unknown sources as a compensating control until the update is applied.

Recommended fix High confidence

Solid Edge SE2023 V223.0 Update 10

  1. 1. Verify the current Solid Edge SE2023 version by navigating to Help > About Solid Edge
