Code execution via out-of-bounds CGM parser read
Published Nov 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 21, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Siemens JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization allows attackers to execute code when a crafted CGM file is opened. Siemens identifies the CGM parser as the locus but does not disclose which parser routine reads beyond its intended buffer or which malformed field causes the read. Exploitation requires user interaction but no prior application privilege, and successful code runs with the rights of the current process.
