PatchSiren cyber security CVE debrief
CVE-2026-21344 Adobe CVE debrief
Substance3D - Stager versions 3.1.6 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file. This vulnerability could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure, potentially allowing an attacker to execute code in the context of the current user if a victim opens a malicious file. The vulnerability is caused by an out-of-bounds read when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. This could potentially allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. Security teams should verify the affected systems and apply patches. Further analysis and verification are recommended.
