Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE-2023-51745 is a serious cybersecurity vulnerability that has been identified in multiple versions of Teamcenter Visualization and JT2Go. This vulnerability might allow an attacker to exploit a stack overflow issue while parsing specially crafted CGM files, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. The potential implications of such a vulnerability<\/a> are far-reaching and could include system compromise or data leakage. In a worst-case scenario, this could lead to a catastrophic breach of sensitive data<\/a> and significant damage to an organization’s reputation.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2023-51745
\nSeverity: High (7.8 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

JT2Go | All versions < V14.3.0.6\nTeamcenter Visualization<\/a> V13.3 | All versions < V13.3.0.13\nTeamcenter Visualization<\/a> V14.1 | All versions < V14.1.0.12\nTeamcenter Visualization V14.2 | All versions < V14.2.0.9\nTeamcenter Visualization V14.3 | All versions < V14.3.0.6\n\nHow the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit takes advantage of a stack overflow vulnerability<\/a> in the affected applications. When these applications parse a specially crafted CGM file, an overflow in the memory stack<\/a> can occur. This overflow can be manipulated by an attacker to execute arbitrary code<\/a> within the context of the running application, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following is a
\nconceptual<\/strong>
\n example of how this vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p>\n

#include \n#include \nvoid vulnerable_function(char *data) {\nchar buffer[100];\nstrcpy(buffer, data); \/\/ Overflow can occur here if data is larger than buffer\n}\nint main(int argc, char *argv[]) {\nchar large_data[200] = \"specially crafted cgm file content...\";\nvulnerable_function(large_data);\nreturn 0;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this simple example, an attacker could craft a CGM file with data<\/a> that is larger than the buffer in `vulnerable_function()`. The extra data could then overwrite other parts of the stack, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
