CVE-2022-23201Network attack vector

Arbitrary code execution via reflected XSS

Published Jul 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Reflected cross-site scripting in Adobe RoboHelp 2020.0.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser via a crafted URL. Adobe's published records do not disclose the specific vulnerable page or input-handling operation, identifying only reflected XSS triggered when a victim visits a URL referencing that page. Exploitation requires convincing a victim to follow the URL, and the documented consequence is script execution with confidentiality and integrity impact in the browser context.
