Stored XSS via unneutralized form-field content
Published Jan 13, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Stored XSS in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.10.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser. Vulnerable form fields retain attacker-supplied script content and render it without sufficient output neutralization when another user opens the containing page. No account is required to submit the payload, but exploitation requires a victim to browse to that page; Adobe has not disclosed the specific field or handler.
