Stored script execution via unsanitized form fields
Published Dec 15, 2023 · Updated Oct 7, 2024
Stored XSS in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.18 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser. A low-privileged user can save unsanitized script content in vulnerable form fields, which AEM later renders when another user opens the containing page. Exploitation requires low-privileged access to alter a form field and a victim to browse the affected page; the script can read or modify browser-accessible data in that AEM origin.
