Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can exploit this vulnerability?

An attacker needs low-privileged access to Adobe Experience Manager and must be able to submit content to a vulnerable form field. Exploitation also requires a victim to browse to the page where the injected content is displayed.

2

What is the likely impact if exploitation succeeds?

Malicious JavaScript can execute in the victim's browser, with low confidentiality and integrity impact indicated. The vulnerability has changed scope, meaning the effects can extend beyond the security authority of the vulnerable component.

3

Are users exposed simply by visiting a vulnerable page?

Yes. Once malicious script has been stored in a vulnerable field, a victim may trigger execution by browsing to the page containing that field.
