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. An attacker could leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities 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 Siemens Teamcenter Visualization and Tecnomatix Plant Simulation when parsing specially crafted WRL (VRML) files. The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process by leveraging the memory corruption with other vulnerabilities.

MitigationUpdate affected products to the patched versions: Teamcenter Visualization V14.2.0.14 or later, V14.3.0.12 or later, V2312.0008 or later; Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302.0016 or later, V2404.0005 or later.

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 product
    Check if Siemens Teamcenter Visualization or Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed. Look in the program files directory or use system inventory tools to list installed Siemens software.
    Affected if Either Teamcenter Visualization or Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed
  2. Check Teamcenter Visualization version
    Locate the Teamcenter Visualization installation directory and check the version information in the product's about or version file, typically found in the installation root folder.
    Affected if Version is earlier than V14.2.0.14, or between V14.3.0.0-V14.3.0.11, or between V2312.0000-V2312.0007
  3. Check Tecnomatix Plant Simulation version
    Locate the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installation and check the version, typically accessible through the application's help-about dialog or version info in the installation directory.
    Affected if Version is earlier than 2302.0016, or between 2303.0000-2404.0004
  4. Verify WRL file parsing is enabled
    Check if the WRL/VRML file import or parsing feature is enabled in the product configuration. This is typically found in the file associations or import settings.
    Affected if WRL file parsing feature is enabled and the version is within the affected ranges

The environment is affected if either Teamcenter Visualization or Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed with a version that falls within the affected ranges AND the WRL/VRML parsing feature is enabled.

Interim mitigation

Update affected products to the patched versions: Teamcenter Visualization V14.2.0.14 or later, V14.3.0.12 or later, V2312.0008 or later; Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302.0016 or later, V2404.0005 or later.

Recommended fix High confidence

Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302.0016 (for V2302 line) or V2404.0005 (for V2303/V2404 lines)

  1. 1. Identify the current installed version of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation by checking the application properties or About section
  2. 2. For versions prior to V2302: Upgrade to V2302.0016 or later
  3. 3. For versions V2303.x: Upgrade to V2404.0005 or later
  4. 4. For versions V2404.x below 2404.0005: Upgrade to V2404.0005 or later
  5. 5. After upgrading, validate that the WRL file parsing functionality works correctly with legitimate files
  6. 6. Ensure the upgraded version is obtained from the official Siemens software distribution channel or Siemens Digital Industries Software support portal
Caveat Standard upgrade considerations apply - review Siemens release notes for any changes to functionality or compatibility with other Teamcenter products in your environment
