AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 01, 2026

Unauthorized cross-user data access in Dassault Systèmes BIOVIA Workbook (Release 2021 through Release 2026) stems from a race condition that lets one authenticated low-privilege user read data belonging to another user. Vendor 3DS tags the flaw as an authentication bypass, and its CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L) reflects network-reachable exploitation by any authenticated account with high confidentiality and integrity impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no EPSS or KEV signal supplied.

DescriptionCVE.org

A Race Condition vulnerability affecting BIOVIA Workbook from Release 2021 through Release 2026 could allow a user to access unauthorized data from another user.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Dassault Systèmes BIOVIA Workbook (Release 2021-2026) contains a race condition that allows any authenticated user to access confidential data belonging to other users, creating uncontrolled exposure of design and research intellectual property across the organization. This vulnerability threatens data confidentiality and integrity without requiring privilege escalation, affecting every active user regardless of role. Immediate access controls are required pending a vendor patch.

Recommended Action

Within 24 hours: inventory all BIOVIA Workbook instances (confirm affected releases 2021-2026), enumerate active user accounts, and enable transaction-level audit logging. Within 7 days: restrict Workbook access to essential personnel only, enforce database-level role-based access controls to prevent cross-user reads, and disable any collaborative data-sharing features if operationally feasible. Within 30 days: monitor Dassault Systèmes security advisories for a patch release; evaluate vendor timeline and prepare upgrade or migration strategy to post-2026 releases.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) apply least-privilege database access to segment user datasets; (2) implement comprehensive audit logging of all data access with alerts for cross-user read attempts; (3) segregate Workbook infrastructure from other design systems if operationally feasible; (4) disable multi-user or concurrent session features; (5) require re-authentication between context switches or implement session timeouts to reduce race condition window.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).
