Severity by source
AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
File must be opened by victim (AV:L, UI:R); no credentials needed to craft or deliver the payload (PR:N); successful exploitation yields full user-context code execution across all three impact pillars (C:H/I:H/A:H) without scope change.

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a victim user actively open a malicious file in Adobe Substance 3D Painter - the CVSS UI:R metric confirms this mandatory user interaction as a hard prerequisite. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a local, file-triggered attack requiring no special privileges but mandatory user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious Substance Painter project file or supported import format containing oversized or malformed data engineered to overflow the heap buffer in the application's file parser. The file is delivered to a target artist or technical director via email, a shared collaboration platform, or a contractor file-exchange workflow under the guise of a legitimate project asset. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply the vendor-released patch documented in Adobe advisory APSB26-129 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d_painter/apsb26-129.html); the exact patched version must be confirmed directly from that advisory, as it is not reproduced in the available CVE input. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all machines running Adobe Substance 3D Painter and issue an urgent directive prohibiting users from opening design files (.spp and related project formats) from unverified external sources; implement file-type blocking at email gateways for these formats. …
