Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Substance3D - Painter versions 10.1.0 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

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.

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. Check if Adobe Substance 3D Painter is installed
    On Windows: Check for the application in Start Menu or look for installation folder (typically C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Painter). On macOS: Check /Applications folder for Adobe Substance 3D Painter.app
    Affected if The application is not installed on the system, then not affected by this CVE in its current form.
  2. Identify the installed version number
    Windows: Right-click the application shortcut, select Properties, and check the Details tab for version info. Or launch the application and go to Help > About Adobe Substance 3D Painter. macOS: Right-click the app in Applications, select Get Info, or launch and check Help > About.
    Affected if Version is 10.1.0 or earlier (any version below 10.1.1) - this means the installed version falls within the affected range.
  3. Verify version against CVE-affected range
    Compare the identified version number to 10.1.1. The affected versions are any release below 10.1.1, including 10.1.0, 10.0.x, and all earlier major versions.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 10.1.1 (for example, 10.1.0, 10.0.0, 8.x, etc.) - the system is vulnerable to the out-of-bounds read when processing malicious files.
  4. Confirm file open functionality is available
    Verify the software can open project files (.sbsar, .sbs, or custom painter project formats). The vulnerability triggers specifically when opening a maliciously crafted file.
    Affected if The software can open files and the version is < 10.1.1 - the vulnerability is exploitable through malicious file handling.

User is affected if Adobe Substance 3D Painter is installed with any version below 10.1.1, as the out-of-bounds read flaw exists in all versions up to and including 10.1.0 and can be triggered by opening a specially crafted malicious file.
