Code execution via out-of-bounds CGM write
Published Nov 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 21, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in Siemens JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization allows attackers to execute code via a crafted CGM file. The CGM parser writes beyond a valid memory boundary while reading attacker-controlled file content; Siemens has not disclosed the affected function or malformed field. A user must open the untrusted file, after which code runs with the current process privileges or the application can crash.
