Script execution via unsanitized stored form fields
Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Dec 11, 2024
Stored XSS in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.21 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via vulnerable form fields. The affected form-field handling stores attacker-supplied script content without neutralizing it and later renders that content in a visitor’s browser. Low-privilege access is required to plant the payload, and a victim must browse to the page before the script runs in that victim’s browser context.
