AI Analysis

Impact

Adobe Experience Manager is vulnerable to an Incorrect Authorization flaw that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, potentially leading to elevated privileges or full control of the victim's account. The flaw changes the scope so that code executed by a lower privileged user can affect higher privileged processes. No user interaction is needed to exploit the vulnerability.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Adobe Experience Manager versions 6.5 and 6.5 LTS. Any deployment of these product releases is impacted unless a patch has been applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.9 indicates a critical severity, while the EPSS score is not available. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is likely a network‑based request to the AEM server that bypasses authorization controls; the description infers that an attacker can submit crafted requests to authorized endpoints to trigger code execution. Given the scope change, the impact is system‑wide for compromised accounts.

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor’s patch or update to a non‑vulnerable version of Adobe Experience Manager as soon as available.
  • Enforce the principle of least privilege by limiting the permissions of users and services that interact with AEM, especially for privileged roles.
  • Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring of AEM access, execution paths, and file modifications to detect unauthorized code execution or privilege escalation attempts.
