CVE-2024-54005

Local file disclosure via external entity resolution

Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Dec 10, 2024

XXE injection in Siemens COMOS PDMS/E3D Engineering Interface allows local users to read files through an external application's channel. The interface parses attacker-injected external entities in XML exchanged between the systems and resolves them to local or network file paths. Exploitation requires access to the interapplication communication channel and knowledge of a target file path; the documented consequence is file disclosure only.
