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 an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. 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 · high confidenceAn out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Adobe Substance3D Modeler versions 1.14.1 and earlier allows arbitrary code execution when a user opens a malicious file. The vulnerability stems from improper bounds checking during file parsing, enabling an attacker to overwrite memory beyond allocated buffers.

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.
-
Verify Adobe Substance 3D Modeler is installedCheck for the application in typical installation locations such as C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Modeler or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Modeler, or look in the Windows Start Menu for the application entryAffected if The application is found on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Adobe Substance 3D ModelerOpen the application and navigate to Help > About Adobe Substance 3D Modeler, or right-click the executable file and select Properties > Details to view the File VersionAffected if The displayed version is 1.14.1 or any version number lower than 1.14.1
-
Check Windows Registry for version informationOpen Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\, look for an entry named 'Adobe Substance 3D Modeler' and check the DisplayVersion valueAffected if The DisplayVersion value shows 1.14.1 or earlier
-
Confirm the vulnerability trigger conditionUnderstand that this vulnerability is triggered when opening a maliciously crafted 3D model file - verify if the application has the capability to import or open model files from external sourcesAffected if The software can open imported model files and the installed version is 1.14.1 or earlier
A user is affected if Adobe Substance 3D Modeler version 1.14.1 or earlier is installed and the software can be used to open 3D model files.
