Technical details

A DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). The flaw allows a remote attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser by manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM) environment. Exploitation requires user interaction, specifically that a victim visits a malicious URL or crafted webpage. The vulnerability affects AEM as a Cloud Service (<= 2026.5.0), AEM 6.5 LTS (<= SP1), and AEM 6.5 (<= 6.5.24). Adobe has released updates (2026.6.0 and specific hotfixes) to remediate this issue.
