Technical details

The vulnerability is a deserialization flaw that allows remote code execution. Untrusted data is deserialized without proper validation, enabling an attacker to craft malicious serialized objects that execute arbitrary code upon deserialization. The attack likely requires network access to the affected service. An attacker can achieve remote code execution on systems running vulnerable versions of PTC Windchill. Patch availability has not been confirmed from accessible sources.
