Technical details

Adobe Experience Manager is vulnerable to a Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306) flaw. The vulnerability exists because certain critical functions do not properly enforce authentication requirements, allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass security measures. Successful exploitation grants the attacker unauthorized write access to the system. The attack can be carried out over the network without any user interaction, and the vulnerability carries a changed scope (S:C) impact. Adobe has released updates and hotfixes to address this issue across Cloud Service and 6.5 versions.
