Siemens Simcenter Femap MODEL File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Siemens Simcenter Femap. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the processing of MODEL files within the CatiaV4_2022_2 executable. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read before the start of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
