Code execution via unchecked DAE buffer copy
Published Apr 13, 2023 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Substance 3D Designer 12.4.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code via a malicious DAE file. The DAE parser copies user-supplied data into a fixed-length heap buffer without validating its length. Exploitation requires the current user to open the file or visit a malicious page, after which attacker-controlled code runs in the application's process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <=12.4.0
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <=None
