Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been identified in Solid Edge SE2025 (All versions < V225.0 Update 15), Solid Edge SE2026 (All versions < V226.0 Update 7). The affected applications contains an out of bounds read vulnerability while parsing specially crafted DFT files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in Siemens Solid Edge SE2025 and SE2026 enables code execution within the application process when a victim opens a specially crafted DFT (Draft) drawing file. Siemens confirmed and patched the vulnerability via Product CERT advisory SSA-621657, with fixes delivered in SE2025 V225.0 Update 15 and SE2026 V226.0 Update 7. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the file-parsing attack vector is consistent with targeted document-delivery threats directed at engineering and manufacturing organizations.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-125 (Out-of-Bounds Read) within the DFT file parser of Siemens Solid Edge, a professional 3D CAD/CAM application widely used in mechanical and industrial engineering. DFT files are Solid Edge 2D draft drawing files; parsing these files involves reading structured binary data, and a malformed DFT can cause the parser to read beyond the bounds of an allocated memory buffer. While CWE-125 is primarily a memory disclosure primitive, the CVSS 4.0 impact metrics of VC:H/VI:H/VA:H indicate the out-of-bounds read condition is exploitable for code execution within the current process - potentially by reading and manipulating control-flow structures, function pointers, or adjacent heap metadata. Tags from the intelligence feed reference both 'Information Disclosure' and 'Buffer Overflow,' the latter likely describing the exploitable consequence rather than the precise root-cause class. Affected CPEs are cpe:2.3:a:siemens:solid_edge_se2025:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and cpe:2.3:a:siemens:solid_edge_se2026:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all pre-patch releases of each respective product line.
RemediationAI
Siemens has released patches that resolve this vulnerability: users of Solid Edge SE2025 should upgrade to V225.0 Update 15 or later, and users of Solid Edge SE2026 should upgrade to V226.0 Update 7 or later. Full patch details and download instructions are available in Siemens Product CERT advisory SSA-621657 at https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-621657.html. For organizations unable to apply patches immediately, compensating controls include blocking inbound DFT files at email gateways and file-transfer checkpoints to prevent delivery of malicious files - note this may disrupt external design collaboration workflows. Additionally, enforcing application allowlisting and restricting Solid Edge execution to managed, controlled workstations reduces exposure. Users should be trained not to open DFT files from untrusted or unverified sources, though this control is inherently unreliable as a sole mitigation. Network segmentation of engineering workstations can limit the blast radius of a successful compromise.
