AI Analysis

Impact

Adobe Experience Manager is affected by a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that can be abused by an attacker with limited privileges to inject JavaScript code into vulnerable form fields. When a victim visits the page containing the stored payload, the script executes in the context of the victim’s browser, potentially leading to session theft, defacement, or other client‑side attacks. The vulnerability changes scope, implying that the impact may extend beyond the original container and affect other authenticated users or applications.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Adobe Experience Manager 6.5, including the 6.5 Long Term Support release and the Cloud Service deployment. No specific patch versions were listed, so all installations of these products remain vulnerable until updated.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate risk. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so its exploitation probability is not known to be high. The likely attack vector is via form input that accepts user supplied data; a low‑privileged user who can submit content to the affected forms can embed malicious scripts. Once the payload is stored and retrieved by a legitimate user, the attacker’s script runs without further actions required beyond form submission.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Adobe Experience Manager security update that addresses CVE-2026-75740. This patch removes the flaw that allows unfiltered script injection into form fields.
  • Ensure any form fields in the application validate and sanitize user input to strip or encode JavaScript, thereby preventing stored XSS via input validation (CWE‑79).
  • Limit write permissions for low‑privileged users so that only authorized accounts can submit data to the vulnerable form fields, reducing the likelihood that an attacker can embed malicious payloads.
