CVE-2025-54190
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 - Painter versions 11.0.2 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. 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 Painter versions 11.0.2 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. When a victim opens a specially crafted malicious file, the application reads memory beyond allocated boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive data from the application's memory space to the attacker.

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.
-
Identify installed Adobe Substance 3D Painter versionUse the application's built-in version check (Help > About or the application launcher) or check the installed software list in your system's control panel or package manager to locate the exact version number of Adobe Substance 3D PainterAffected if The version number is 11.0.2 or earlier, or any version below 11.0.3
-
Confirm the file opening capability is presentVerify that the application can open project files or assets - this is the standard file import feature used during normal workflowsAffected if The application can open external files, which is the standard and expected behavior required for the vulnerability to be triggered
-
Assess exposure to untrusted filesDetermine whether users in your environment have the ability or tendency to open files from untrusted or unknown sources, as this is the attack vector required to exploit the vulnerabilityAffected if Users routinely open files from untrusted or unknown sources, which provides the attack vector for the out-of-bounds read
Your environment is affected if Adobe Substance 3D Painter version 11.0.2 or earlier (below 11.0.3) is installed and users can open files from untrusted sources, since the vulnerability triggers when parsing a specially crafted malicious file.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped11.0.3
Users should avoid opening files from untrusted sources. Update to a patched version of Substance3D Painter when released by Adobe. Organizations should consider endpoint protection and user training on the risks of opening untrusted files.
Substance 3D Painter 11.0.3 or later
- Check current installed version of Substance 3D Painter by opening the application and navigating to Help > About
- Download Substance 3D Painter version 11.0.3 or later from the official Adobe website or Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application
- Install the updated version following the on-screen prompts
- Restart the application after installation completes
