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 V2302 (All versions < V2302.0021), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2404 (All versions < V2404.0010). The affected application does not properly restrict access to the file deletion functionality. This could allow an unauthorized attacker to delete files even when access to the system should be prohibited, resulting in potential data loss or unauthorized modification of system files.

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

Tecnomatix Plant Simulation versions V2302 prior to V2302.0021 and V2404 prior to V2404.0010 contain an improper access control vulnerability in the file deletion functionality. An unauthorized attacker could exploit this to delete files on the system, potentially causing data loss or unauthorized modification of system files.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patches V2302.0021 or V2404.0010 (or later) to restrict file deletion access to authorized users only.

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 the installed Tecnomatix Plant Simulation version
    Open the application and navigate to Help > About, or check the program files directory for version information
    Affected if The displayed version is any build of V2302 or V2404 prior to the fixed releases
  2. Compare the full version number against the affected ranges
    Locate the complete version string (e.g., 2302.0001 or 2404.0005) and verify it falls within >= 2302.0 but < 2302.0021, or >= 2404.0 but < 2404.0010
    Affected if The version falls within either of the two vulnerable ranges
  3. Confirm the file deletion feature is present
    Check if the application has file manipulation capabilities enabled (this feature is included by default in affected versions)
    Affected if The file deletion functionality exists in the installation (standard in affected versions)

You are affected if your installed version is V2302.x prior to V2302.0021 or V2404.x prior to V2404.0010 and the application file deletion feature is accessible.

Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied patches V2302.0021 or V2404.0010 (or later) to restrict file deletion access to authorized users only.

Recommended fix High confidence

V2302.0021 (for 2302 line) or V2404.0010 (for 2404 line)

  1. 1. Identify the current installed version of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation (either V2302.x or V2404.x line)
  2. 2. Navigate to the Siemens official support portal or cert-portal.siemens.com to download the fixed version
  3. 3. For V2302 line users: download version V2302.0021
  4. 4. For V2404 line users: download version V2404.0010
  5. 5. Create a complete backup of all Plant Simulation projects, libraries, and configurations
  6. 6. Install the fixed version following Siemens installation documentation
  7. 7. Verify the installation was successful and confirm the version number
  8. 8. Test that proper file deletion access controls are now enforced
