Victim-browser script execution via reflected input
Published Sep 13, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
Reflected XSS in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.17.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run script in a victim's browser. Adobe has not published the vulnerable page, parameter, or input-handling operation that reflects attacker-controlled content without safe output encoding. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and a victim who follows a crafted URL, enabling script execution in that victim's AEM origin.
