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 the scope of files accessible to the simulation model. This could allow an unauthorized attacker to compromise the confidentiality of the system.

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 prior to V2302.0021 and V2404.0010 fail to properly restrict the scope of files accessible to simulation models, potentially allowing unauthorized access to files outside the intended model scope and compromising system confidentiality.

MitigationUpgrade Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to V2302.0021 or later, or V2404.0010 or later, as these versions contain the fix for improper file scope restriction.

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. Locate Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installation
    Check standard installation paths such as C:\Program Files\Siemens\Tecnomatix_Plant_Simulation or use Windows Programs and Features to find the installation directory
    Affected if Installation directory not found means product may not be installed
  2. Find version information
    Right-click the main executable (usually PlantSimulation.exe) in the installation folder, select Properties, and view the File Version or Product Version field. Alternatively, check Add/Remove Programs for the installed version number
    Affected if Unable to determine version means cannot verify vulnerability status
  3. Compare against affected version ranges
    Note the full version number (e.g., 2302.0, 2302.0021, 2404.0, 2404.0010). Compare numerically: versions 2302.0 through 2302.0020 are vulnerable; versions 2404.0 through 2404.0009 are vulnerable
    Affected if Version is 2302.0 to 2302.0020 inclusive OR 2404.0 to 2404.0009 inclusive indicates the environment is affected by this improper file scope restriction vulnerability

A user is affected if Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is installed with a version number between 2302.0 and 2302.0020, or between 2404.0 and 2404.0009, since these versions fail to restrict file access to the intended model scope.

Interim mitigation

Upgrade Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to V2302.0021 or later, or V2404.0010 or later, as these versions contain the fix for improper file scope restriction.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302.0021 (for V2302 line) or V2404.0010 (for V2404 line)

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed version of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation by opening the application and navigating to Help > About, or checking the installation directory for version information.
  2. 2. If running version V2302.x with version < V2302.0021, or version V2404.x with version < V2404.0010, the system is vulnerable.
  3. 3. Back up any critical simulation models and project data before proceeding with the upgrade.
  4. 4. Obtain the fixed version (V2302.0021 or V2404.0010) from the official Siemens support portal or through your existing software distribution channel.
  5. 5. Uninstall the current vulnerable version, or use the upgrade/installation mechanism to install the fixed version over the existing installation.
  6. 6. After installation, verify the new version by checking Help > About to confirm V2302.0021 or V2404.0010 is installed.
  7. 7. Test critical simulation models to ensure functionality is maintained after the upgrade.
Caveat Minor version update; no significant breaking changes expected as this is a security fix addressing file access restrictions
