CVE-2025-24441
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 4.5.2 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 · moderate confidenceSubstance3D Sampler versions 4.5.2 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds write vulnerability during file parsing. When a user opens a maliciously crafted file, the application writes data beyond allocated memory boundaries, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution in the context 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.
-
Verify Adobe Substance 3D Sampler is installedOpen Windows Settings > Apps & Features (or Programs and Features in Control Panel) and search for 'Substance 3D Sampler', or check the installation directory where Adobe applications are typically installed (such as C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Sampler)Affected if The application appears in the installed programs list
-
Determine the installed version numberRight-click the application in the Apps & Features list and select 'Modify' or 'Change', or navigate to the installation folder and locate a version file, or launch the application and check Help > About Adobe Substance 3D SamplerAffected if A version number is displayed (for example, 4.5.2, 4.5.1, 4.5.0, or any version below 5.0)
-
Compare version against affected rangeIf the installed version is 4.5.2 or earlier, or any version number below 5.0 (such as 4.x.x series), the installed version falls within the affected range documented in the CVEAffected if The installed version is less than 5.0 (for example, 4.5.2, 4.5.0, 3.x.x, etc.)
If Adobe Substance 3D Sampler is installed and the version is below 5.0, the environment is affected by this vulnerability when processing untrusted files.
