## Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in Adobe Experience Manager due to improper limitation of pathnames to restricted directories. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests to the server, allowing them to bypass access controls and read sensitive files outside of the web root. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.6, notably featuring a 'Changed' scope (S:C), indicating that the impact extends beyond the application itself to the underlying host system. Adobe has released updates for Cloud Service, 6.5 LTS, and 6.5 versions to address this issue.
