CVE-2024-47459
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 · uneditedSubstance3D - Sampler versions 4.5 and earlier are affected by a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability that could lead to an application denial-of-service (DoS) condition. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application, resulting in a DoS. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if Adobe Substance3D Sampler is installedOn Windows, check Program Files or Add/Remove Programs. On macOS, check /Applications folder or run 'ls /Applications | grep -i substance'. On Linux, check common application directories or package managers.Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Determine the installed version numberOn Windows, right-click the application in Add/Remove Programs and select Properties to view the version, or check the file properties of the executable. On macOS, right-click the app in Applications, select Get Info, and view the Version field.Affected if The version displayed is 4.5 or earlier, or any version below 4.5.1
-
Verify the exact version against the affected rangeCompare your installed version to the vulnerable range: versions 4.5 and earlier are affected. Version 4.5.1 and later are not affected.Affected if The installed version is 4.5 or any earlier version (such as 4.4.x, 4.3.x, etc.)
If Adobe Substance3D Sampler is installed and the version is 4.5 or earlier (below 4.5.1), the environment is vulnerable to this CVE.
