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 the UA.Testclient utility, which is included in Rexroth IndraWorks. All versions prior to 15V24 are affected. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's system by parsing a manipulated file containing malicious serialized data. Exploitation requires user interaction, specifically opening a specially crafted file, which then causes the application to deserialize the malicious data, enabling Remote Code Execution (RCE). This can lead to a complete compromise of the system running the UA.Testclient.

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

This is a deserialization vulnerability in the UA.Testclient utility (part of Rexroth IndraWorks). Attackers exploit unsafe deserialization by crafting malicious serialized data within a file that, when opened by a user, gets processed by the application and executes arbitrary code, achieving RCE.

MitigationUpdate UA.Testclient to version 15V24 or later to patch the deserialization flaw. Until patched, exercise extreme caution with files from untrusted sources and consider network isolation of affected systems.

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 UA.Testclient installation
    Search for the UA.Testclient executable on the system, typically found in the Bosch Rexroth IndraWorks installation directory or program files folder
    Affected if UA.Testclient is present on the system and its version is below 2.9.0
  2. Check UA.Testclient version
    Right-click the executable, select Properties, and view the File Version or Product Version field in the Details tab
    Affected if The displayed version is earlier than 2.9.0
  3. Locate IndraWorks installation
    Search for IndraWorks installation directory, commonly under Program Files or Program Files (x86)
    Affected if IndraWorks is installed and its version is below 15v24
  4. Check IndraWorks version
    Open IndraWorks and navigate to Help > About, or right-click the main executable and check Properties for version information
    Affected if The displayed version is earlier than 15v24 (15V24)
  5. Determine exposure to untrusted files
    Assess whether users have access to open .NET serialized objects, XML-serialized data, or other deserializable file formats through UA.Testclient
    Affected if Users can open files from untrusted sources using the affected application

A system is affected if UA.Testclient version is below 2.9.0 OR IndraWorks version is below 15v24, and users can open deserializable files with the application.

Interim mitigation

Update UA.Testclient to version 15V24 or later to patch the deserialization flaw. Until patched, exercise extreme caution with files from untrusted sources and consider network isolation of affected systems.

Recommended fix High confidence

Rexroth IndraWorks 15V24 (which includes UA.Testclient 2.9.0 or later)

  1. Identify the currently installed version of Rexroth IndraWorks on the affected system
  2. Verify the current version is prior to 15V24 (e.g., check About or version information in the software)
  3. Contact Bosch Rexroth technical support or use authorized distribution channels to obtain the IndraWorks version 15V24 or later update
  4. Download the IndraWorks 15V24 installer from a verified Bosch Rexroth source
  5. Before installation, backup any existing projects, configurations, and custom settings if possible
  6. Close all running instances of IndraWorks and UA.Testclient
  7. Run the installer with appropriate administrator privileges
  8. Follow the installation wizard prompts to complete the upgrade
Caveat Specific breaking changes are not detailed in the available advisory; verify compatibility with existing projects and any custom integrations after upgrading
