Executive brief
Adobe Experience Manager, a platform used by organizations to manage digital content and websites, is affected by a security flaw that allows unauthorized script injection. An attacker with low-level access can place malicious code into website forms, which then runs in the browsers of other users or administrators who view those pages. This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of users or the theft of sensitive session information.
Technical details
A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Adobe Experience Manager due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). The flaw is located within certain form fields that fail to adequately sanitize user-supplied data before storage and subsequent display. An authenticated attacker with low-level privileges can exploit this by submitting a malicious payload via a network request. When a victim (such as an administrator) views the affected page, the payload executes in their browser context. This vulnerability has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning the impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component to other parts of the application environment. Adobe has addressed this in security bulletin APSB26-56.
