## Technical details

The vulnerability is an untrusted search path issue in Substance3D Painter where the application loads libraries from directories that an attacker can control or influence. This allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The attack requires user interaction—specifically, the victim must open a malicious file crafted to exploit the search path behavior. An attacker can achieve code execution with the privileges of the logged-in user. The vulnerability was assigned CVE-2026-75768 with a CVSS score of 7.8 (high severity).
