Adobe Experience Manager is a content management platform used to build and manage enterprise websites and applications. A low-privileged attacker can inject malicious scripts into form fields that execute in the browsers of users who view those pages, potentially allowing account takeover or credential theft. The vulnerability requires user interaction—a victim must visit the compromised page—but affects a wide range of AEM versions.
