Browser code execution via attacker-controlled DOM content
Published Mar 19, 2025 · Updated Mar 19, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.21 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run code in a victim's browser. The CVE record says attacker-controlled DOM content is executed as script, while Adobe's revised bulletin labels the issue stored XSS; no component or input field is disclosed. Exploitation requires low-privilege access and a victim who follows a malicious link, limiting impact to code execution in that browser session.
