Privilege escalation via DOM-based script execution
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
DOM-based XSS in Adobe Experience Manager allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges through a crafted webpage. Adobe has not disclosed the affected page, DOM source, DOM sink, or the client-side operation that transfers attacker-controlled state into executable script. Exploitation requires low-privileged AEM access and a victim who visits the crafted page, and the injected JavaScript executes in the victim's browser context.
