Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in Siemens Solid Edge SE2026 within the PAR file parsing component. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes a specially crafted PAR file. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a malicious file, leading to memory corruption. Successful exploitation could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the current process. Siemens has addressed this in Solid Edge SE2026 V226.0 Update 5.
