Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. This affects an unknown function of the component WRL File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability has been identified in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 (All versions < V2302.0018), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2404 (All versions < V2404.0007). The affected applications contain a stack based overflow vulnerability while parsing specially crafted WRL files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-24486)

The advisory is shared at cert-portal.siemens.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-52572 since 11/14/2024. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/11/2024).

Upgrading to version 2302.0018 or 2404.0007 eliminates this vulnerability.
