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 V14.3 (All versions < V14.3.0.13), Teamcenter Visualization V2312 (All versions < V2312.0009), Teamcenter Visualization V2406 (All versions < V2406.0007), Teamcenter Visualization V2412 (All versions < V2412.0002), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 (All versions < V2302.0021), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2404 (All versions < V2404.0010). 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 vulnerability allows attackers to achieve code execution in the context of the current process due to insufficient bounds checking during WRL file parsing.

MitigationUpdate affected products to the specified minimum versions: Teamcenter Visualization V14.3.0.13, V2312.0009, V2406.0007, V2412.0002; Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302.0021, V2404.0010. Until patches are applied, disable handling of untrusted WRL files and restrict user privileges where possible.

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 Teamcenter Visualization installation
    Locate the Teamcenter Visualization installation directory (commonly under C:\Program Files\Siemens\TeamcenterVisualization or /usr/siemens/teamcenter_visualization). Look for executable files such as Visualization.exe or related binaries.
    Affected if Teamcenter Visualization is installed and the version falls within any of the affected ranges (>=14.0.0 to <14.3.0.13, >=2312.0 to <2312.0009, >=2406.0 to <2406.0007, or >=2412.0 to <2412.0002)
  2. Confirm Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installation
    Locate the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installation directory (commonly under C:\Program Files\Siemens\Tecnomatix_Plant_Simulation or similar). Look for the main executable (PlantSimulation.exe or similar).
    Affected if Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed and the version falls within any of the affected ranges (>=2302.0 to <2302.0021 or >=2404.0 to <2404.0010)
  3. Determine Teamcenter Visualization version
    Right-click on the main executable (e.g., Visualization.exe), select Properties, and view the Version tab. Alternatively, check the version in the Siemens Licensing Tool or in the product's About dialog accessible from the Help menu.
    Affected if The installed version number is less than the fixed versions: 14.3.0.13, 2312.0009, 2406.0007, or 2412.0002 depending on the release line
  4. Determine Tecnomatix Plant Simulation version
    Open Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, go to Help > About, or right-click the main executable and view the Version tab. The version is typically displayed as a four-digit release (e.g., 2302.0, 2404.0).
    Affected if The installed version number is less than the fixed versions: 2302.0021 or 2404.0010 depending on the release line
  5. Check for WRL file handling capability
    Search the installation directory for WRL-related files, parsers, or converters. Look for file associations or import/export functionality that handles .wrl files. In the product UI, check File > Open or Import for .wrl file type support.
    Affected if The product has the capability to import, open, or parse WRL (VRML) files, which is required for the vulnerability to be exploitable

The environment is affected if either Teamcenter Visualization or Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed with a version falling within the affected ranges and WRL file handling functionality is present.
