Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Substance3D - Sampler contains a heap‑based buffer overflow (CWE‑122) that can be triggered by a malicious file. When processed, the overflow may allow the attacker to inject arbitrary code into the application’s memory space and execute it with the privileges of the user running the software.

Affected Systems

The affected vendor is Adobe, with the product Adobe Substance 3D Sampler. No specific version ranges are listed in the public data, so all current and future releases should be considered potentially vulnerable until an official update is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.8, indicating a high impact if exploited. The EPSS score is not available, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting the exploitation risk is not currently known to be widespread. The attack vector requires user interaction, as a victim must open a malicious file; therefore the exploitation probability is tied to the likelihood of a user receiving and opening such a payload.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Adobe patch or update for Substance 3D Sampler as soon as it becomes available.
  • Restrict users from opening unknown or unsigned files with the application, and educate them to exercise caution when receiving unfamiliar files.
  • Configure the operating system to block execution of files from untrusted directories or apply application whitelisting to prevent the application from running under untrusted conditions.
