CVE-2024-36190Network attack vector

Victim-browser script execution via DOM-based XSS

Published Jun 13, 2024 · Updated Oct 7, 2024

DOM-based XSS in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.20 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser. A crafted link or form submission triggers client-side DOM processing of attacker-controlled input; the affected product set also includes AEM Cloud Service. Adobe has not identified the affected script or DOM sink, and exploitation requires low-privileged access and victim interaction.
