SSA-109294: Scene File Parsing Vulnerability in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer
Notes
Summary
Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer is affected by a vulnerability that could be triggered when the application reads scene (.sce) files. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected application, this could lead to a crash, and potentially also to arbitrary code execution or data extraction on the target host system.
Siemens has released an update for Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer and recommends to update to the latest version to fix the vulnerability. Siemens recommends to avoid opening of untrusted files from unknown sources.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
