Authenticated victim-browser JavaScript execution
Published Dec 19, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Reflected XSS in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.14.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser. Adobe has not published the vulnerable page, parameter, or faulty reflection operation that returns attacker-controlled input without safe encoding. Exploitation requires low-privileged AEM access and convincing a victim to visit a crafted URL, exposing browser-context data and actions.
