Technical details

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) exists in Adobe Substance 3D Painter versions 12.0.2 and earlier. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a specially crafted file, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can leverage this to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires local delivery of a malicious file and user interaction (opening the file). Adobe has addressed this in version 12.0.3.
