## Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper authorization flaw in the 3DPassport authentication component of 3DSwymer. Attackers can bypass authorization controls to gain access to user accounts across affected releases (3DEXPERIENCE R2023x through R2026x). The attack requires network access to the 3DSwymer service but no prior authentication. Successful exploitation allows attackers to impersonate legitimate users and access sensitive project data, design files, and collaborative content. Patches are expected to be available from Dassault Systèmes for all affected versions.
