MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to first hold low-privileged authenticated access to Adobe Campaign Classic (CVSS PR:L) - for example any valid ACC operator login or an application/API credential - and network reachability to the vulnerable ACC application server endpoint that constructs the SQL command. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). The limiting factors that reduce real-world risk are the mandatory authenticated foothold and the need for the ACC API/console surface to be network-accessible to the attacker; deployments that keep ACC off the public internet and tightly govern low-privileged account issuance materially raise the bar. The exact injectable feature/endpoint is not enumerated in the provided data and should be confirmed from Adobe advisory APSB26-120. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high priority, not an inflated high-CVSS artifact. The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H combines network reach, low attack complexity, no user interaction, only low privileges, full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact, and a scope change - the reason the score reaches 9.9. The one meaningful barrier is PR:L: an attacker needs some authenticated foothold (any low-privileged ACC account or an application/API credential), which limits fully anonymous mass exploitation. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or POC was provided in the input, so real-world exploitation volume cannot be quantified from available data; the absence of a KEV entry means there is no confirmed active exploitation at this time. The realistic risk profile is that of a highly attractive post-authentication target on an internet-facing enterprise system - treat as urgent, but note that exposure is bounded by how broadly low-privileged ACC accounts and APIs are reachable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained any low-privileged Adobe Campaign Classic account or operator/API credential sends crafted input to a network-reachable ACC endpoint whose query is built with unsanitized parameters. The injected SQL manipulates the backing database and is chained to reach arbitrary code execution in the current user's context, crossing into resources outside the original component (scope change). No user interaction is required, and no public POC is confirmed in the available data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 03, 2026
SQL injection in Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) allows a low-privileged, authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user without any user interaction. Because unsanitized input reaches an SQL command (CWE-89), an attacker with minimal access can pivot from database manipulation to code execution, and the CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component itself. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the 9.9 base score and Adobe's own advisory (APSB26-120) mark this as a top-priority enterprise marketing-platform flaw.
RemediationAI
Apply the update published in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-120 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/campaign/apsb26-120.html); the input does not include an exact fix version, so treat this as 'Patch available per vendor advisory' and confirm the precise patched build from that bulletin for your ACC branch before deploying. Until patched, reduce exposure with concrete compensating controls: restrict network access to the ACC application server and its SOAP/HTTP APIs to trusted management networks or VPN only (trade-off: may break legitimate integrations and remote operator access); tighten and audit low-privileged ACC accounts and rotate/scope API operator credentials to shrink the PR:L attacker pool (trade-off: operational review overhead); and place a WAF or database-activity-monitoring layer in front of ACC to flag anomalous SQL patterns (trade-off: signature-based rules can be bypassed by novel injection and add false positives, so this is detection, not prevention). Do not treat workarounds as a substitute for the vendor patch given the RCE and scope-change severity.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Adobe Campaign Classic is an on-premise/managed enterprise cross-channel marketing and campaign-orchestration platform that stores customer, segmentation, and delivery data in a backing relational database (typically PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MS SQL). The root cause is CWE-89, Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command: user-controllable input is concatenated into a query without proper parameterization or escaping, letting an attacker alter query structure. In ACC's architecture the application server executes SOAP/HTTP API and workflow logic that build SQL dynamically, so injected SQL can be leveraged not only to read/modify data but - per the advisory - to reach arbitrary code execution in the current user's context, consistent with the CVSS scope change that crosses a trust/security boundary. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_campaign_classic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, which does not pin specific versions.

DescriptionCVE.org
Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) is affected by an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. A low-privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.

Executive ViewAI
Adobe Campaign Classic contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-48326, CVSS 9.9) that enables low-privileged authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on marketing platforms, potentially compromising customer data and platform integrity. This flaw affects all organizations running ACC without immediate mitigation and represents an urgent operational risk to marketing systems and customer privacy.
Until vendor patch available: restrict ACC platform access via role-based controls to administrators only, implement database activity monitoring to detect anomalous SQL queries, apply network-level protections to limit ACC connectivity, and review input validation logic in custom ACC integrations. Disable or air-gap non-essential ACC instances. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; monitor APSB26-120 for patch availability.

SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
