Code execution via invalid GLB object use
Published Aug 9, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
Use-after-free in Adobe Dimension 3.4.9 and earlier allows attackers to execute code by supplying a malicious GLB file. The GLB parser fails to verify that an object still exists before performing operations on it, causing freed memory to be reused during file processing. Exploitation requires a victim to visit malicious content or open the file, and resulting code runs in the current process context.

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.
