A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ (All versions < V2306). The affected application improperly assigns file permissions to installation folders. This could allow a local attacker with an unprivileged account to override or modify the service executables and subsequently gain elevated privileges.

A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ (All versions only if the Power-on-Demand public license server is used). Affected applications expose user, host and display name of users, when the public license server is used. This could allow an attacker to retrieve this information.

A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer (All versions < V2022.1). The starview+.exe contains a memory corruption vulnerability while parsing specially crafted .SCE files. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.

A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer (All versions < 2021.3.1). The starview+.exe application lacks proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing scene files. This could result in an out of bounds write past the end of an allocated structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
