It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-40945 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens COMOS V10.4.5. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40945/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40945/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40945","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40945/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40945","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fh68-jj27-gphg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Siemens engineering software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges via an untrusted search path in the IAM Client SDK of various Siemens engineering applications.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in COMOS V10.4.5 (All versions \u003c V10.4.5.0.2), COMOS V10.6 (All versions \u003c V10.6.1), Designcenter NX (All versions \u003c V2512.7000), Simcenter 3D (All versions \u003c V2512.7000), Simcenter Femap V2506 (All versions \u003c V2506.0003), Simcenter Femap V2512 (All versions \u003c V2512.0002), Simcenter Nastran (All versions \u003c V2606), Simcenter STAR-CCM+ (All versions \u003c V2606), Solid Edge SE2025 (All versions \u003c V225.0 Update 13), Solid Edge SE2026 (All versions \u003c V226.0 Update 04), Teamcenter Visualization V2412 (All versions \u003c V2412.0012), Teamcenter Visualization V2506 (All versions \u003c V2506.0009), Teamcenter Visualization V2512 (All versions \u003c V2512.2605), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2404 (All versions \u003c V2404.0022), Tecnomatix Plant Simulation V2504 (All versions \u003c V2504.0010), Tecnomatix Process Simulate (All versions \u003c V2606).
