CVE-2025-25266

Arbitrary file deletion via unrestricted deletion functionality

Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Mar 11, 2025

Improper access control in Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation before 2302.0021 or 2404.0010 allows local users to delete arbitrary files. The application exposes file-deletion functionality to simulation models without enforcing the intended filesystem access restriction. Local access is required; successful exploitation can remove system files, causing data loss, unauthorized modification, or service interruption.
