Technical details
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in Substance3D Modeler versions 1.22.4 and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when the application attempts to process malformed or specially crafted file input without proper validation, dereferencing a null pointer and causing the application to crash. Exploitation requires user interaction—a victim must open a malicious file—and does not require network access or elevated privileges. An attacker can achieve denial-of-service by preventing the target user from using the application, though the impact is limited to application availability on the affected machine.
