CVE-2024-53001
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 exists in Substance3D Modeler versions 1.14.1 and earlier. An attacker can embed malicious data into a file that, when opened by a victim, triggers the out-of-bounds write, allowing arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user.

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.
-
Confirm Adobe Substance 3D Modeler is installedCheck your system for the presence of Adobe Substance 3D Modeler application. On Windows, look in Program Files or the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app. On macOS, check /Applications or Launchpad.Affected if The application is found on the system
-
Identify the installed version numberOpen Adobe Substance 3D Modeler and navigate to Help > About, or check the version displayed in the application metadata. Alternatively, check the version shown in your installed programs list (Windows) or Applications folder (macOS).Affected if A version number is displayed in the application UI or system info
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare your identified version to the affected range: any version <= 1.14.1 is vulnerable. If your version shows only 1.14.1 or lower (for example 1.14.0, 1.13.x, etc.), you are within the affected range.Affected if The installed version is 1.14.1 or any earlier version (e.g., 1.14.0, 1.13.5)
-
Assess file handling exposureDetermine if the application is configured to automatically open .modeler files or related 3D file types. This is the default behavior when the application is associated with these file types.Affected if The application can open .modeler or related 3D files (this is the default state after installation)
You are affected if Adobe Substance 3D Modeler version 1.14.1 or earlier is installed and the application can open .modeler files, which is the default behavior.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade Substance3D Modeler to a version newer than 1.14.1 when Adobe releases the patch. Until then, refrain from opening .modeler or related 3D files from untrusted or unknown sources.
