Security Summary

CVE-2025-27172 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) affecting Adobe Substance3D Designer versions 14.1 and earlier. Published on 2025-03-11, the flaw could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Exploitation requires local access (AV:L) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no privileges (PR:N), but user interaction (UI:R) is necessary as a victim must open a malicious file. A successful attack allows an attacker to achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 and no change in scope (S:U).

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?

Out-of-bounds write in client application enables arbitrary code execution when victim opens malicious file (T1204.002 Malicious File), directly supporting client-side exploitation for code execution (T1203).
