High CVSS 7.8
CVE-2026-59086
NVD analysis in progress
A vulnerability has been identified in Simcenter Femap (All versions < V2606), Simcenter Nastran (All versions < V2606). The affected applications contain a stack overflow vulnerability while parsing specially strings as argument for one of the application binaries. This could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current process.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- A stack overflow overwrites the return address, which often leads to code execution.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
