DescriptionCVE.org

Substance3D - Designer is affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Substance 3D Designer enables arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the logged-in user when a victim opens a specially crafted malicious file. The flaw (CWE-122) resides in the application's file parsing subsystem, where insufficient bounds validation permits heap memory corruption that an attacker can leverage to redirect execution flow. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The sole condition required for exploitation is that a victim with Adobe Substance 3D Designer installed actively opens a specially crafted malicious file - explicitly stated in the CVE description and reflected in UI:R in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.8 score with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H correctly captures a file-parsing RCE that is severe but bounded in reach - AV:L and UI:R together mean opportunistic mass exploitation is not viable without both file delivery and victim action. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor-issued patch documented in Adobe advisory APSB26-115 at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d_designer/apsb26-115.html - the exact patched version must be confirmed from that advisory, as no specific fix version was present in the available intelligence and none has been independently verified. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Adobe Substance 3D Designer installations in your environment and determine which users handle externally-sourced or untrusted files. …
