AI Analysis

Impact

Adobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.23 and earlier are vulnerable to a stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw. An attacker can embed malicious JavaScript into form fields that are subsequently displayed in web pages viewed by users. The script executes in the victim’s browser when the affected page is loaded, exposing the user to untrusted code. This weakness is identified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Adobe Experience Manager 6.5, all service packs up to and including 6.5.23, when deployed on‑premises or through the AEM Cloud Service. CPE entries for the on‑premises configuration (6.5 lts, 6.5 sp1 lts) and the cloud service configuration are included. No specific patch version is listed in the supplied data.

Risk and Exploitability

CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate severity. EPSS score is below 1%, implying a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is web‑based and is inferred from the fact that an attacker must supply malicious input through a vulnerable form; this inference is not directly stated in the data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check Adobe Experience Manager release notes or the vendor’s security advisory for an official patch and apply it as soon as it becomes available.
  • If no patch is immediately available, validate or sanitize user input in form fields and escape any output that is rendered in web pages to prevent script execution.
  • Consider deploying a Content Security Policy that restricts the execution of inline scripts to reduce the impact of any injected code.
  • Monitor application logs and user activity for anomalous form submissions that may indicate exploitation attempts.
