CVE-2022-35900: An issue was discovered in Bentley MicroStation before 10.17.0.x and Bentley View before 10.17.0.x.

An issue was discovered in Bentley MicroStation before 10.17.0.x and Bentley View before 10.17.0.x. Using an affected version of MicroStation or MicroStation-based application to open a JP2 file containing crafted data can force an out-of-bounds read. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities within the parsing of JP2 files could enable an attacker to read information in the context of the current process.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2022-35900 is a low-severity file parsing issue in Bentley MicroStation, Bentley View, and MicroStation-based applications before 10.17.0.x. A user opening a specially crafted JP2 image file could allow limited information disclosure from the application process.

Executive priority

Treat this as a low-priority remediation item unless the organization heavily exchanges JP2 files with outside parties. It is not cited as actively exploited, but affected CAD workstations should still be updated during normal patch cycles.

Technical view

The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read during JP2 parsing. CVSS 3.1 is 3.3: local attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, user interaction required, low confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely in engineering or CAD environments running Bentley MicroStation, Bentley View, or MicroStation-based applications before 10.17.0.x, especially where JP2 files are received from external parties. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not identify active exploitation, and this CVE is not marked KEV. Exploitation requires a user to open a crafted JP2 file in an affected application, so practical risk depends on file-handling workflows and trust boundaries.

Researcher notes

The public data identifies the bug class and high-level trigger but provides limited affected-product structure. Focus validation on version exposure and JP2 parsing reachability. Avoid assuming broader Bentley products are affected unless confirmed by Bentley guidance.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Bentley advisory BE-2022-0015 for vendor-supported remediation guidance.
  • Update affected Bentley MicroStation or Bentley View installations to a non-affected 10.17.0.x or later release.
  • Restrict externally sourced JP2 files from being opened in affected Bentley applications until remediated.
  • Educate CAD users to treat unexpected JP2 files as untrusted.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Bentley MicroStation, Bentley View, and MicroStation-based applications across engineering endpoints.
  • Confirm installed versions are not earlier than 10.17.0.x.
  • Review email, file-share, and project intake workflows for externally supplied JP2 files.
  • Prioritize validation on workstations used for third-party design file review.
