Victim-browser script execution via reflected input
Published Mar 22, 2023 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Reflected XSS in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.15.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a victim's browser. Adobe has not disclosed the vulnerable page, parameter, or input-to-output handling that reflects attacker-controlled content. Exploitation requires low-privilege access and a victim who follows a crafted URL, enabling script execution in that victim's AEM origin.
