Code execution via IGS parser buffer overwrite
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in Siemens Simcenter Femap before 2406 allows attackers to execute code by opening a crafted IGS part file. The IGS part-file parser writes attacker-controlled data past the end of an allocated buffer, corrupting process memory. Exploitation requires a user to open the file; resulting code runs in the current process with that user's rights.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <v2406
- Affected versionversion=0 <V2406
