AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a DOM-based cross‑site scripting flaw that allows an attacker to embed arbitrary JavaScript into a victim’s browser session. By manipulating the Document Object Model environment in a visited page, an attacker can execute code that may compromise information confidentiality, data integrity, or session availability. The flaw aligns with CWE‑79, a flaw where untrusted input is inserted into the DOM without proper sanitization.

Affected Systems

Adobe Experience Manager 6.5, Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 LTS, and Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service are affected by this flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The assessed CVSS score is 5.4, indicating a moderate risk. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the victim to visit a specially crafted webpage, leveraging the user's interaction to deliver the malicious script. The attack vector is therefore an in‑browser delivery via manipulated DOM, and the primary impact is execution of arbitrary JavaScript within the victim’s session, potentially leading to data theft or session hijacking.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the most recent Adobe security patch for Experience Manager 6.5, 6.5 LTS, and the Cloud Service to eliminate the DOM‑based XSS flaw.
  • Configure a strict Content Security Policy that blocks inline script execution and disallows loading of script resources from untrusted origins.
  • Ensure that all user‑supplied data inserted into the DOM is properly encoded and validated before rendering, preventing injection of executable script content.
