Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation

An attacker with local access to a device running Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation could read, modify, or delete arbitrary files on the filesystem, potentially compromising simulation data, configuration files, or causing the simulation to malfunction.

Engineering and modeling teams using Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation for manufacturing process simulation, plant layout design, and production planning. This primarily affects mid-size manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and process engineering departments that depend on simulation for planning and optimization.

An attacker with local access to the device opens or runs a simulation model file. The vulnerability in the simulation engine does not properly isolate filesystem access, allowing the attacker to read sensitive files outside the intended simulation directory or delete critical files on the operating system.
