MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets the 3DPassport authentication/SSO component of 3DSwymer on 3DEXPERIENCE R2023x through R2026x and requires victim user interaction (CVSS UI:R) - the attacker must induce a legitimate user to interact with attacker-controlled content or a crafted request against the authorization flow; it does not require the attacker to hold any prior credentials (PR:N). Limiting factors: the flaw yields access to 'some user accounts' rather than universal takeover, success is gated on that user interaction (so it is not fully automatable or wormable), and only 3DEXPERIENCE deployments running the affected 3DPassport/3DSwymer releases and reachable by the attacker are exposed. The exact configuration that makes an account exploitable is not detailed in the vendor description and should be verified against the 3DS advisory. |
| Impact | Signals are partially conflicting and should be weighed rather than taken at face value. The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.3 (Critical) on vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N - network reachable, low complexity, no privileges, but requiring user interaction and yielding a scope change; the scope change plus C:H/I:H is what pushes it into critical territory. Counterbalancing this, the description scopes impact to 'some user accounts' (not blanket takeover), and exploitation requires victim interaction (UI:R), which lowers automatability and argues for targeted rather than mass exploitation. No EPSS probability, KEV status, or POC evidence was provided, so real-world exploitation likelihood cannot be confirmed from the input - the 9.3 reflects potential impact, not observed activity. Net: treat as a high-priority patch for 3DEXPERIENCE operators (SSO-component compromise is high blast-radius), but the UI:R requirement and account-scoped impact mean it is unlikely to be wormable or opportunistically automated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious link or page targeting the 3DPassport authorization flow and delivers it to a legitimate 3DEXPERIENCE user via email or chat. When the victim interacts with it, the improper authorization check is subverted, allowing the attacker to gain access to that user's account and, through the SSO scope, associated 3DEXPERIENCE resources. No public POC or exploit code was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 27, 2026
Account takeover affects the 3DPassport identity component bundled with Dassault Systèmes 3DSwymer across 3DEXPERIENCE releases R2023x through R2026x, where an improper authorization flaw (CWE-285) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker who lures a victim into interacting with crafted content gain access to some user accounts. Because 3DPassport is the platform's single-sign-on gateway, a successful attack yields high confidentiality and integrity impact and crosses a trust boundary (scope-changed) into downstream 3DEXPERIENCE apps. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and no EPSS score supplied.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix described in the Dassault Systèmes advisory at https://www.3ds.com/trust-center/security/security-advisories/cve-2026-16279; the advisory is the source for the exact fixed release/hotfix, which is not included in the input data, so consult it for the precise build per your R2023x-R2026x level (patch available per vendor advisory). Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the 3DPassport/3DEXPERIENCE authentication endpoints to trusted networks or VPN (trade-off: may block legitimate remote or federated users), and because exploitation depends on user interaction, brief users against clicking untrusted 3DPassport/SSO links and consider tightening session and redirect/referrer validation at the reverse proxy (trade-off: stricter redirect allowlists can break legitimate federated login flows). Monitor 3DPassport authentication logs for anomalous session establishment or account access from unexpected sources as a detective control.

Technical ContextAI · show details
3DPassport is the centralized authentication/SSO service for Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform; 3DSwymer is the social-collaboration ('Swym') role/app that relies on it for identity. The root cause is CWE-285 Improper Authorization - the service performs an action or grants a session without correctly verifying that the requesting principal is entitled to the target account, as opposed to a pure authentication-credential failure. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:dassault_systèmes:3dswymer, and the vendor tags this as an Authentication Bypass, consistent with an authorization check that can be subverted to bind an attacker to another user's account context. Because 3DPassport federates identity to the broader platform, the CVSS scope-change (S:C) reflects that compromise of the auth component impacts resources managed by other 3DEXPERIENCE components.

DescriptionCVE.org
An Improper Authorization vulnerability affecting 3DPassport in 3DSwymer from Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2023x through Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2026x could allow an attacker to gain access to some user accounts.
Executive ViewAI
Dassault Systèmes 3DSwymer's 3DPassport identity component (R2023x-R2026x) contains a critical authorization flaw enabling remote account takeover without prior authentication. Because 3DPassport serves as the enterprise SSO gateway, compromise directly threatens access to all downstream 3DEXPERIENCE applications and poses an enterprise-wide credential and data breach risk.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) restrict 3DPassport to internal-only network access via firewall segmentation; (2) enforce multi-factor authentication on all 3DEXPERIENCE accounts where supported; (3) implement continuous monitoring and alerting for failed authentication attempts and account modifications; (4) consider service disable if 3DPassport is non-critical to production operations; (5) segregate 3DPassport infrastructure from general user networks to constrain lateral movement in case of compromise.
