CISA ICS Advisory: Siemens Simcenter Femap

Here’s what this advisory affects, and what to do about it.

Simcenter Femap contains two file parsing vulnerabilities that could be triggered when the application reads files in BMP file format. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected application, this could lead the application to crash or potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. Siemens has released a new version for Simcenter Femap and recommends to update to the latest version.
