CVE-2024-52833
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 - Modeler versions 1.14.1 and earlier are affected by a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability that could result in an application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application, leading to a denial-of-service condition. 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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability exists in Substance3D Modeler versions 1.14.1 and earlier. When parsing a specially crafted malicious file, the application attempts to dereference a NULL pointer, causing a crash and resulting in denial of service.

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 the installed version of Adobe Substance 3D ModelerOpen the application and navigate to Help > About Adobe Substance 3D Modeler, or check the version displayed in the application's main window or installerAffected if The version displayed is 1.14.1 or any earlier version (for example, 1.14.0, 1.13.x, etc.)
-
Verify if the application is used to open or parse files from external or untrusted sourcesIdentify whether users routinely open .s3d, .obj, .fbx, or other 3D model files created by others in this applicationAffected if The software is used to parse files, especially files from untrusted or unknown sources, and the version is 1.14.1 or earlier
You are affected if Adobe Substance 3D Modeler version 1.14.1 or earlier is installed and you use it to open or parse model files.
