Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Substance3D Painter versions 10.1.0 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that allows an attacker to write data beyond allocated memory boundaries. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution within the context of the current user. The attack vector requires the victim to open a maliciously crafted file, indicating a file-parsing vulnerability.

MitigationUsers should avoid opening files from untrusted or unknown sources. Organizations should ensure Substance3D Painter is updated to a patched version once released by Adobe. Apply vendor security updates as soon as they become available.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine if Adobe Substance 3D Painter is installed
    Check for the presence of Adobe Substance 3D Painter in your system applications or installed programs list. On Windows, this can be done via Control Panel > Programs and Features or Settings > Apps. On macOS, check /Applications folder or via Spotlight search.
    Affected if Adobe Substance 3D Painter is present on the system
  2. Identify the installed version of Adobe Substance 3D Painter
    Open Adobe Substance 3D Painter and navigate to Help > About or check the application properties in your system's installed programs list to view the exact version number.
    Affected if The version displayed is 10.1.0 or any earlier version
  3. Compare your version against the fixed release
    Review the version number identified in the previous step. The patched version is 10.1.1. Any version below 10.1.1 falls within the affected range.
    Affected if The installed version is earlier than 10.1.1 (for example, 10.1.0, 10.0.x, or earlier)
  4. Verify the attack vector exposure
    Assess whether the system opens files received from external or untrusted sources using Adobe Substance 3D Painter. The vulnerability is triggered specifically when opening a maliciously crafted file.
    Affected if Users on the system open files from untrusted or unknown sources using Substance 3D Painter

You are affected if Adobe Substance 3D Painter is installed and the version is 10.1.0 or earlier (prior to the 10.1.1 patch), especially if the application is used to open files from untrusted sources.
