DescriptionCVE.org

Adobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.24, LTS SP1, 2026.04 and earlier are affected by a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this issue by manipulating the DOM environment to execute malicious JavaScript within the context of the victim's browser. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must visit a crafted webpage. Scope is changed.

AnalysisAI

DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting in Adobe Experience Manager allows an authenticated, low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser by enticing them to visit a crafted webpage. Affected versions span the 6.5.x line through 6.5.24, the LTS SP1 branch, and all cloud releases through 2026.04. The Scope:Changed CVSS attribute indicates the injected script can affect resources beyond the originating AEM context - elevating the practical impact above what the 5.4 Medium score alone suggests. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is an enterprise content management platform used for web, digital asset, and forms management. DOM-based XSS (CWE-79) differs from reflected or stored XSS in that the malicious payload never reaches the server - instead, client-side JavaScript reads attacker-controlled data from the DOM (e.g., URL fragment, document.location, or postMessage data) and writes it into the page without sanitization. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C confirms a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that crosses trust boundaries (Scope Changed), consistent with a DOM sink writing into a context that can influence sibling frames or downstream JavaScript execution. The CWE-79 root cause is failure to neutralize user-controllable input before inserting it into a dynamic execution context in the browser.

RemediationAI

Consult Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-56 at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/experience-manager/apsb26-56.html for the official patch. An exact fixed version number was not independently confirmed from the data available at time of analysis - the advisory should be treated as the authoritative source for target upgrade versions across the 6.5.x, LTS SP1, and 2026.x cloud release tracks. As a compensating control while patching, restrict the ability of lower-privileged AEM roles (authors, contributors) to share or publish URLs containing fragment identifiers or query parameters that feed into DOM sinks, and enforce Content-Security-Policy headers on AEM author and publish environments to block inline script execution - note that CSP requires careful configuration to avoid breaking AEM's own JavaScript-heavy UI. User awareness training to distrust unsolicited AEM links is a low-cost interim measure.
