CVE-2024-47437
📋 TL;DR
Substance3D Painter versions 10.1.0 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could allow an attacker to read sensitive memory contents. This could potentially bypass security mitigations like ASLR. Users who open malicious files with affected versions are at risk.
💻 Affected Systems
- Adobe Substance3D Painter
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
An attacker could read sensitive memory contents, potentially obtaining credentials, encryption keys, or other protected data, and bypass ASLR to enable further exploitation.
Likely Case
Limited information disclosure from memory, potentially revealing some application data but unlikely to lead to full system compromise without additional vulnerabilities.
If Mitigated
With proper controls, only non-critical memory data might be exposed, with minimal impact on system security.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires user interaction (opening malicious file). No public exploit code identified.
