CVE-2024-52574

Code execution via unchecked WRL buffer read

Published Nov 18, 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 fails to validate user-supplied structure data before reading past the end of an allocated buffer. Exploitation requires a user to open the malicious file or visit a malicious page, and successful code runs in the current process context.
