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
An OS Command Injection vulnerability affecting Station Launcher App in 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x through Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2025x could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's machine.

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

An OS Command Injection vulnerability exists in the Station Launcher App component of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform spanning versions R2022x through R2025x. Attackers can inject malicious OS commands through unsanitized input in the launcher, leading to arbitrary code execution on the victim's machine.

MitigationApply the vendor-issued patch for affected 3DEXPERIENCE releases (R2022x through R2025x) as soon as possible. Prioritize deployment given the critical severity (CVSS 9) and the availability of public exploitation potential.

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 3DEXPERIENCE platform installation
    Search for 3DEXPERIENCE installation directories or check installed programs list for '3DEXPERIENCE' or 'Dassault Systèmes' entries
    Affected if 3DEXPERIENCE platform is installed on the system
  2. Identify installed version
    Locate version information in installation folder (typically contains R2022x, R2023x, R2024x, or R2025x in path or version file) or check program version details
    Affected if Installed version falls within R2022x through R2025x range
  3. Verify Station Launcher App component presence
    Check for 'Station Launcher' or ' launcher' executables or services within the 3DEXPERIENCE installation directory
    Affected if Station Launcher App component is present on the system
  4. Assess launcher execution context
    Review how Station Launcher is invoked - check for shortcut properties, startup configurations, or integration with other applications
    Affected if Station Launcher is configured to run automatically or processes external input
  5. Verify input handling configuration
    Inspect launcher configuration files or logs for any user-controlled input pathways that could reach OS command execution
    Affected if Launcher accepts external input without sanitization or validation

If 3DEXPERIENCE R2022x through R2025x is installed with the Station Launcher App component active, the environment is likely affected by this OS command injection vulnerability.
