CVE-2024-54093
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 SE2024 (All versions < V224.0 Update 5). The affected application is vulnerable to heap-based buffer overflow while parsing specially crafted ASM 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 confidenceHeap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Solid Edge SE2024 when parsing specially crafted ASM (assembly) files. The flaw allows code execution in the context of the current process, indicating the attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution by enticing a user to open a malicious file.

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.
-
Confirm Solid Edge SE2024 is installedOpen Windows Programs and Features or check C:\Program Files\Siemens\SolidEdge2024 for the installation folderAffected if Solid Edge SE2024 is present on the system
-
Identify the installed version of Solid Edge SE2024In Windows Programs and Features, locate Siemens Solid Edge SE2024 and note the version in the Version column. Alternatively, launch Solid Edge SE2024 and go to Help > About Solid Edge to view the version numberAffected if The version displayed is 224.0 or any version lower than 224.0 (for example, 223.0, 222.0, etc.)
-
Determine if ASM file parsing is in useCheck if users on this system routinely open or import .asm assembly files using Solid Edge SE2024. Look for recent .asm files in user directories or check the application's recent files list if accessibleAffected if Users open or process ASM files with Solid Edge SE2024 and the installed version is 224.0 or lower
-
Verify the vulnerability conditionCompare your confirmed installed version against the affected range: versions < 224.0 and version = 224.0 are vulnerableAffected if The installed version is exactly 224.0 or any version below 224.0
A user is affected if Solid Edge SE2024 is installed with version 224.0 or lower and users open ASM assembly files with it.

dbcve · scoped224.0
Update Solid Edge SE2024 to version V224.0 Update 5 or later to obtain the vendor patch. Avoid opening untrusted ASM files from unknown sources as a temporary precaution.
Solid Edge SE2024 V224.0 Update 5
- Obtain Solid Edge SE2024 V224.0 Update 5 or later from the official Siemens support portal (cert-portal.siemens.com or support.sw.siemens.com)
- Verify the download matches the correct version and checksum if provided
- Close all running instances of Solid Edge
- Apply the update by running the installer for V224.0 Update 5
- Restart the application and verify the version shows V224.0 Update 5 or later
