Analysis

Technical impact

Adobe Experience Manager is vulnerable to a DOM-based Cross‑Site Scripting flaw that allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim’s browser. The vulnerability relies on manipulating the DOM environment via a crafted page and requires that the user visit that page. Scope is changed.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Adobe Experience Manager 6.5, Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 LTS, and Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service. Users of any of these versions should verify that their installations are running the patched release referenced in Adobe APSB26‑74.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate overall severity. The EPSS of less than 1% suggests a very low likelihood of widespread exploitation at present, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector involves a crafted webpage that the victim must visit, triggering JavaScript execution in the browser context of the trusted Adobe Experience Manager domain.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Apply the official Adobe patch or upgrade to a patched release as documented in Adobe APSB26‑74.
Configure a strict Content Security Policy that disallows inline scripts and restricts external script sources to a whitelist.
Add client‑side validation and encoding of any data used in DOM manipulation, ensuring that user‑supplied input cannot alter the page’s JavaScript context.
