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 write 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 write in Siemens Solid Edge SE2025 and SE2026 allows code execution within the application process when a user opens a specially crafted DFT file. The vulnerability resides in the DFT file parser and can deliver full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system if a victim is induced to open a malicious file. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the product is not listed in CISA KEV; however, Siemens has released patched versions and published advisory SSA-621657.
Technical ContextAI
Siemens Solid Edge is a professional CAD/CAM application widely used in manufacturing and engineering environments. DFT files are Solid Edge Draft documents used for 2D engineering drawings. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-787 (Out-of-Bounds Write), a memory corruption class where a parser writes data beyond the bounds of an allocated buffer while processing attacker-controlled DFT file structures. This type of flaw typically arises from insufficient length validation of file-embedded field values before writing to a heap or stack buffer, and is a well-understood exploitation primitive in desktop application attack surface. Affected CPEs are cpe:2.3:a:siemens:solid_edge_se2025 (all versions before V225.0 Update 15) and cpe:2.3:a:siemens:solid_edge_se2026 (all versions before V226.0 Update 7).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patches are available: upgrade Solid Edge SE2025 to V225.0 Update 15 or later, and Solid Edge SE2026 to V226.0 Update 7 or later, as documented in Siemens advisory SSA-621657 (https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-621657.html). As a compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, organizations should block receipt of unsolicited DFT files via email gateways and restrict file sharing channels to trusted internal sources only; note this reduces but does not eliminate exposure since DFT files are a normal business artifact in engineering workflows. Additionally, running Solid Edge in a sandboxed or low-privilege user context can limit the blast radius of successful exploitation to the current user's process, reducing lateral movement risk.
