Description

An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.

Security Summary

CVE-2025-24445 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) affecting Adobe Substance3D Sampler versions 4.5.2 and earlier. Published on 2025-03-11, the flaw carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Exploitation requires local access and user interaction, specifically a victim opening a malicious file. An unprivileged attacker can leverage this to trigger the out-of-bounds write, achieving high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts through arbitrary code execution with no change in scope.

Adobe Security Bulletin APSB25-16, available at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d-sampler/apsb25-16.html, provides details on the vulnerability and mitigation steps for Substance3D Sampler.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.
T1204.002 Malicious File Execution
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Why these techniques?

The vulnerability is a client-side out-of-bounds write in a desktop application that is triggered by opening a malicious file, directly enabling exploitation for client execution (T1203) and user execution via malicious file (T1204.002) to achieve arbitrary code execution.
