ICSA-25-191-02: Siemens Solid Edge ↗ source

July 10, 2025 CISA ICS Advisory

Summary

Solid Edge is affected by multiple file parsing vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the application reads specially crafted files in various formats such as PAR or CFG format. This could allow an attacker to crash the application or execute arbitrary code. Siemens has released a new version for Solid Edge SE2025 and recommends to update to the latest version. CVE-2025-40739: The affected applications contain an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated structure while parsing specially crafted PAR files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process. CVE-2025-40740: The affected applications contain an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated structure while parsing specially crafted PAR files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process. CVE-2025-40741: The affected applications contain a stack based overflow vulnerability while parsing specially crafted CFG files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
