CVE-2026-12569 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in PTC Windchill PDMlink and PTC FlexPLM caused by deserialization of untrusted data. It permits a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send a malicious network request that results in arbitrary code execution in the affected application environment. The vulnerability affects all CPS versions and Windchill and FlexPLM releases before 11.0 M030. Active exploitation has involved deployment of application-specific JSP web shells for credential theft and data exfiltration.
