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 Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2201 (All versions < V2201.0012), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 (All versions < V2302.0006). The affected applications contain a stack overflow vulnerability while parsing specially crafted PSOBJ 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

A stack overflow vulnerability exists in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation when parsing specially crafted PSOBJ files. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

MitigationUpdate Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to version V2201.0012 or V2302.0006 or later to remediate the vulnerability.

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. Verify Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installation
    Check for the presence of the Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installation directory, typically found under C:\Program Files\Siemens\Tecnomatix_Plant_Simulation or in the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Siemens\Tecnomatix Plant Simulation
    Affected if The software is not installed on the system
  2. Locate installed version information
    Navigate to the installation directory and locate the version file, or check the program's properties in Add/Remove Programs. The version may also be found in the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Siemens\Tecnomatix Plant Simulation\InstallDir or within the main executable file properties
    Affected if Unable to determine the installed version number
  3. Compare version against affected ranges
    Compare your installed version to the affected ranges: any version less than 2201.0012, or any version from 2302.0 up to but not including 2302.0006
    Affected if Installed version falls within < 2201.0012 or >= 2302.0 and < 2302.0006
  4. Confirm PSOBJ file handling is present
    Verify that the Plant Simulation installation includes file import capabilities for PSOBJ files, which is a native file format handled by the software
    Affected if PSOBJ file parsing functionality exists in the installation (this is standard functionality in affected versions)

User is affected if Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed with a version matching < 2201.0012 or >= 2302.0 to < 2302.0006 and the software can process PSOBJ files

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2201.0012 / 2302.0006 or later
Fixed in 2201.00122302.0006
Interim mitigation

Update Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to version V2201.0012 or V2302.0006 or later to remediate the vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

V2201.0012 or V2302.0006 depending on current branch

  1. 1. Identify the current installed version of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation (help > about or similar)
  2. 2. If running V2201 branch (any version < V2201.0012), upgrade to V2201.0012
  3. 3. If running V2302 branch (any version >= 2302.0 but < V2302.0006), upgrade to V2302.0006
  4. 4. Download the updated version from Siemens support portal or authorized distribution channel
  5. 5. Install the upgrade following standard Siemens installation procedures
  6. 6. Verify the installed version matches the target fixed version
  7. 7. Test that PSOBJ file parsing functionality works correctly after upgrade
