What, why and how

A vulnerability has been identified in PS/IGES Parasolid Translator Component (All versions < V29.0.258), Simcenter Femap (All versions < V2512.0003), Solid Edge (All versions < V226.00 Update 03). The affected applications contains an out of bounds read vulnerability while parsing specially crafted IGS files. This could allow an attacker to crash the application or execute code in the context of the current process. (ZDI-CAN-26755)

What

Why

The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation when the stated preconditions are met. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

How

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path: local access → Out-of-bounds Read → execute code or commands in the affected security context
Attack surface: Local
Privileges required: None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
User interaction: Passive interaction required
Attack complexity: High: exploitation depends on specific conditions
Security boundary: Not a CVSS 4.0 base metric
Weakness ? CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.: CWE-125 ↗
CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 4.0: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

Post-exploitation / living off the land: After compromise, an attacker may use built-in shells, scripting engines, scheduled tasks and native network utilities for discovery, persistence or movement. This is a plausible LoTL path, not evidence that it has occurred for every attack.
