CVE-2025-24443
Published: 11 March 2025
Description
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-24443 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-122, CWE-787) affecting Adobe Substance 3D Sampler versions 4.5.2 and earlier. The issue could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
Exploitation requires local access (AV:L) with low complexity (AC:L) and no privileges (PR:N), but user interaction is necessary as the victim must open a malicious file (UI:R). Successful exploitation allows an attacker to achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) within the user's scope (S:U), as reflected in the CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8.
Mitigation details are provided in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB25-16, available at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d-sampler/apsb25-16.html.
