CVE-2024-45463

Code execution via WRL parser out-of-bounds read

Published Oct 8, 2024 · Updated Dec 10, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in Siemens Teamcenter Visualization and Tecnomatix Plant Simulation allows attackers to execute code via a crafted WRL file. The WRL parser reads past the end of an allocated structure when it processes malformed file data. Exploitation requires a user to open the file, and successful execution runs with the current process's privileges.
