Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in Substance 3D Painter allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user when a malicious file is opened. The vulnerability requires local access and user interaction to open a crafted file, but no elevated privileges are needed. An attacker gains code execution with the user's privileges once the file is opened.
