Code execution via attacker-controlled search path
Published Aug 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Uncontrolled search path handling in Adobe Substance 3D Modeler 1.22.0 and earlier allows local users to execute code as the current user. Adobe has not identified the affected executable, resource lookup, or search-path source; the record states only that Modeler resolves a critical program through a path redirected to malicious code. Local users need control over that path, and successful exploitation runs the substituted program with the current user's privileges.

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.
