Who should care
Organizations using Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 or V2404, especially in environments where simulation models may access sensitive local files or shared data, should prioritize this issue.
Technical summary
The advisory describes an access-control weakness in which the simulation model can reach files beyond its intended scope. The supplied CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates a local attack with no privileges or user interaction required and a primary confidentiality impact. The affected products are Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 and V2404, with vendor remediation to V2302.0021 or later and V2404.0010 or later.
Defensive priority
Medium
Recommended defensive actions
- Update Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2302 to version 2302.0021 or later, and V2404 to version 2404.0010 or later.
- Review simulation model file access paths and permissions to ensure models can only access the minimum required files.
- Apply Siemens and CISA industrial control system defense-in-depth guidance where the product is deployed.
