CVE-2026-103835 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-10-13

Adobe Substance 3D Stager is a 3D design and visualization tool used by creative professionals. The application contains multiple out-of-bounds write and buffer overflow vulnerabilities in file parsing that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code if a victim opens a malicious project file. No exploits have been detected in the wild, but the vulnerabilities pose a significant risk to users working with untrusted 3D content.

Technologies: Adobe Substance 3d Stager. Vendors: Adobe.

Technical details

The vulnerability involves multiple out-of-bounds write (CWE-787), out-of-bounds read (CWE-125), use-after-free (CWE-416), stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121), and NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) flaws in Substance 3D Stager's file parsing logic. Exploitation requires local file access and user interaction (opening a malicious file); the attacker gains arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged-in user. The vendor has released patched versions addressing all reported issues.
