mediumpriority · track · 32EPSS 0.027 · 86 %ileDEEUUSEPSS · scored 2026-10-27
A use-after-free issue exists in the DGN file-reading procedure in the Drawings SDK (All versions prior to 2022.4) resulting from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. This can result in a memory corruption or arbitrary code execution, allowing attackers to cause a denial-of-service condition or execute code in the context of the current process.

Vendor and ecosystem advisories describing this.
- SSA-155599SSA-155599: File Parsing Vulnerabilities in COMOS2022-03-08csaf · siemens_psirtDE
COMOS uses Drawings SDK from Open Design Alliance that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the application reads files in DGN, DXF or DWG file formats. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected application, an attacker could leverage the vulnerability to leak information or potentially perform remote code execution in the context of the current process. Siemens has released an update for the COMOS and recommends to update to the latest version.
- SSA-365397SSA-365397: Multiple File Parsing Vulnerabilities in JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization before V13.2.0.12021-08-10csaf · siemens_psirtDE
Siemens has released version V13.2.0.1 for JT2Go and Teamcenter Visualization to fix multiple vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the products read files in different file formats (CGM, DGN, DXF, and DWG). If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected products, this could lead the application to crash or potentially arbitrary code execution. Siemens recommends to update to the latest versions and to limit opening of untrusted files from unknown sources in the affected products. Note: - This advisory also covers security vulnerabilities recently disclosed by Open Design Alliance [0] [0] https://www.opendesign.com/security-advisories
