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.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Adobe Substance 3D Painter version
    Open Substance 3D Painter and navigate to Help > About to view the exact version number displayed in the dialog
    Affected if Version shown is 11.0.2 or any earlier version (anything below 11.0.3)
