Actively Exploited DELMIA Flaws Enable Full Application Compromise

Threat actors are actively exploiting two vulnerabilities impacting Dassault Systèmes’ manufacturing execution and operations orchestration platform, DELMIA Apriso, warns CISA.

The two vulnerabilities are being tracked as CVE-2025-6204 (CVSS score of 8.0) and CVE-2025-6205 (CVSS score of 9.1). Classified as High severity and Critical respectively, they affect the manufacturing software from release 2020 through 2025. 

CVE-2025-6204 is a code injection flaw that enables attackers to execute arbitrary code, while CVE-2025-6205 is a missing authorization flaw that provides attackers with privileged access to the application.

Dassault Systèmes released patches for the two flaws in early August, but CISA has since added them to its KEV Catalog after reports of threat actors exploiting them in the wild.

According to researchers at ProjectDiscovery, threat actors have been observed stringing the two flaws together to create an exploit chain, which they can leverage to create accounts with elevated privileges and then remotely drop executable files into a web-served directory. This enables the attackers to take complete control of the DELMIA Apriso application.

“The unauthenticated account creation gives an attacker credentials, and those credentials are then used to authenticate and abuse the file upload to drop a web shell,” the researchers explained.

“Together these flaws create a low-effort, high-impact path to full application compromise and lateral movement, placing organizations that rely on Apriso at substantial risk if left unmitigated.”

Urgent Remediation Required

As mandated by Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01, Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are required to remediate the DELMIA Apriso vulnerabilities by November 18th.

However, both CISA and the ProjectDiscovery research team are urging all organizations using the DELMIA Apriso software to apply the necessary updates as soon as possible.

ProjectDiscovery also recommends that Apriso users check any newly created privileged accounts and scan upload directories for unexpected web shells or similar executables.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
