CVE-2023-49130
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 SE2023 (All versions < V223.0 Update 10). The affected application is vulnerable to uninitialized pointer access while parsing specially crafted PAR files. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code 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 SE2023 versionOpen the Solid Edge application, then navigate to Help > About Solid Edge, or right-click the SE2023 executable and select Properties to view the version numberAffected if Version is listed as less than 223.0 or exactly 223.0
-
Confirm PAR file parsing capability existsAttempt to open a .par file in Solid Edge SE2023, or verify the application can import/access PAR file format through File > Open dialog by selecting PAR as a file typeAffected if PAR file format is available and can be opened in the application
-
Determine if vulnerable component is loadedCheck if the native PAR file parser component is present by examining the Solid Edge installation directory for files related to PAR processing, or attempt to load a minimal PAR file to verify the parsing module initializesAffected if The PAR file parsing functionality is present and loads when opening PAR files
User is affected if Solid Edge SE2023 version is less than 223.0 or exactly 223.0 AND the application can parse PAR files.
