Arbitrary script execution via reflected XSS
Published Dec 21, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Reflected cross-site scripting in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.14 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a victim browser via a crafted URL. Adobe has not disclosed the vulnerable page or parameter that reflects attacker input into the response, so the exact code locus remains unspecified. Exploitation requires low-privilege access and a victim to follow the URL; the reported consequence is script execution with the victim browser's web-session context, affecting confidentiality and integrity but not server availability.
