This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe Substance 3D Painter. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of USDA files.
