Technical details

Substance 3D Painter is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that can result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the currently logged-in user. The vulnerability is triggered through file handling when a victim opens a maliciously crafted file in the application. User interaction is required for exploitation, as the attacker cannot trigger the flaw remotely without the user's action. The vulnerability allows an attacker to overwrite heap memory and potentially achieve code execution in the context of the application process. Adobe has assigned this issue CVE-2026-75769 with a CVSS score of 7.8 (high severity).
