AI Analysis

Impact

Adobe Experience Manager is vulnerable to a stored XSS flaw that allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript into form fields that are then rendered to any user visiting the affected page. The injected script executes in the victim’s browser, giving the attacker the ability to elevate their own privileges or take over the victim’s session, potentially allowing full exploitation of the account or the system. The weakness is a classic input‑validation failure and is classified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to Adobe Experience Manager version 6.5 and its 6.5 LTS release. No other versions are known to be affected by this specific stored XSS flaw according to the available CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.3, the severity is high and the scope can be altered. The EPSS score is not available, so the current exploitation probability cannot be quantified, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The typical attack path requires the attacker first to discover or guess a writable form field, inject the payload, and then lure a victim to the crafted page. Once the victim’s browser processes the malicious script, the attacker can hijack the session or elevate access. Because the flaw is stored, it makes the exposure persistent for all users who view the vulnerable content.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official Adobe patch for Experience Manager 6.5 and 6.5 LTS that removes the stored XSS flaw.
  • Restrict or disable user permissions for the affected form fields until the patch is installed.
  • Implement input validation or sanitization on all form controls to escape or strip script content.
  • As a temporary interim measure, configure a web‑application firewall to block or sanitize XSS payloads originating from the identified form paths.
