Technical details

A DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CWE-79) exists in Adobe Experience Manager. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of input that is subsequently used to manipulate the DOM environment. An attacker with low-privileged access can exploit this by convincing a victim to visit a crafted URL, leading to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript within the context of the victim's browser session. This can result in session hijacking or unauthorized data modification. The issue is resolved in Experience Manager as a Cloud Service version 2026.6.0 and specific hotfixes for version 6.5.

Affected products

Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service <= 2026.5.0
