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 Teamcenter Visualization V14.2 (All versions < V14.2.0.14), Teamcenter Visualization V14.3 (All versions < V14.3.0.12), Teamcenter Visualization V2312 (All versions < V2312.0008), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 (All versions < V2302.0016), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2404 (All versions < V2404.0005). The affected application is vulnerable to memory corruption while parsing specially crafted WRL 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

Memory corruption vulnerability in Teamcenter Visualization and Tecnomatix Plant Simulation when parsing specially crafted WRL (VRML) files. The flaw allows an attacker to achieve code execution within the context of the current process due to improper memory handling during file parsing.

MitigationUpdate to the vendor-provided patched versions: V14.2.0.14 or later, V14.3.0.12 or later, V2312.0008 or later, V2302.0016 or later, and V2404.0005 or later. Until patched, avoid opening untrusted WRL files.

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. Confirm Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installation
    Locate the software installation directory, typically under Program Files/Siemens/Tecnomatix_Plant_Simulation or check Windows Programs and Features for Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation entry
    Affected if The software is present on the system
  2. Determine installed version number
    Right-click the executable or check version properties in the installation folder, or look at the program entry in Windows Programs and Features for the version detail
    Affected if Version is less than 2302.0016, OR version is 2303.0000 through 2404.0004 inclusive
  3. Verify WRL file handling capability
    Check if the software can open or import WRL/VRML files by examining file type associations or testing with a benign WRL file if available
    Affected if WRL file parsing capability exists and the version is in the vulnerable range indicated in step 2

You are affected if Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed with a version falling below 2302.0016, or between 2303.0000 and 2404.0004 inclusive, and the software includes WRL file parsing functionality.

Update to the vendor-provided patched versions: V14.2.0.14 or later, V14.3.0.12 or later, V2312.0008 or later, V2302.0016 or later, and V2404.0005 or later. Until patched, avoid opening untrusted WRL files.

Recommended fix High confidence

V2302.0016 (for V2302 branch) or V2404.0005 (for V2404 branch)

  1. 1. Identify the current installed version of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation (check About or version information in the application)
  2. 2. Determine which version branch you are currently on (V2302 or V2404 series)
  3. 3. For users on V2302 series: Upgrade to version V2302.0016 or later
  4. 4. For users on V2404 series: Upgrade to version V2404.0005 or later
  5. 5. Obtain the fixed version from the Siemens software portal or authorized distribution channel
  6. 6. Follow standard Siemens installation procedures for Tecnomatix Plant Simulation updates
  7. 7. Verify the installation by checking the updated version number
  8. 8. Test that WRL file parsing functionality works correctly in the updated version
