Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
Exploitation Conditions

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no special conditions are required beyond network reachability: no authentication, no special privileges, no user interaction, and no elevated attack complexity. This means any internet- or network-accessible Adobe Campaign Classic instance in its default state is susceptible. The vulnerability is bounded in scope: impact is limited to confidentiality (C:H) only - no write access (I:N) or availability disruption (A:N) is achievable through this flaw alone. Organizations with ACC deployed behind a corporate firewall or VPN with no external-facing exposure reduce realistic attacker reach substantially, though internal threat actors would still meet the exploitation prerequisites.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N represents a genuinely elevated real-world risk: the attack is network-reachable, requires no authentication or privileges, imposes no complexity barrier, and yields high confidentiality impact. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag from the CVE metadata directly aligns with the PR:N metric and CWE-657 classification, providing multi-source corroboration that no credentials are needed. No EPSS score was included in the provided intelligence, which limits probabilistic exploitation likelihood assessment. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV and no public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis. The wildcard CPE scope suggests broad version coverage, amplifying urgency. Organizations with ACC exposed to internet-facing networks face the highest realistic risk; internal-only deployments are meaningfully less exposed. This is a high-priority patch target, not merely a high-CVSS-low-real-risk situation, given the PR:N and AC:L combination.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker with network access to an Adobe Campaign Classic deployment sends a crafted HTTP request targeting an endpoint whose security control is bypassed due to the CWE-657 design flaw, obtaining read access to sensitive marketing data - potentially including subscriber PII, contact lists, or regulated personal data - without supplying valid credentials. The low attack complexity (AC:L) indicates no special preconditions or sequencing is required beyond network reachability, making this straightforward to exploit once the bypass vector is identified. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 03, 2026

Security feature bypass in Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) exposes sensitive data to unauthenticated remote attackers via a violation of secure design principles (CWE-657). The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms that exploitation requires no credentials, no user interaction, and low attack complexity against any network-accessible ACC instance, yielding high confidentiality impact. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; Adobe has published advisory APSB26-120 addressing this issue.

RemediationAI

Apply the update specified in Adobe security advisory APSB26-120 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/campaign/apsb26-120.html); exact patched version numbers are listed there and should be used as the authoritative upgrade target. Prior to patching, restrict network access to Adobe Campaign Classic server endpoints at the perimeter firewall or WAF layer, limiting reachable source IPs to trusted internal ranges and known partner CIDRs - note that overly broad restrictions may disrupt campaign delivery and API integrations with marketing channels. Additionally, audit ACC application logs for anomalous unauthenticated access patterns to sensitive endpoints, particularly those exposing subscriber data, contact lists, or campaign assets, as these may indicate prior exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Adobe Campaign Classic is an enterprise marketing automation and campaign management platform used by large organizations for multi-channel campaign delivery, including email, SMS, and direct mail. The flaw is classified as CWE-657 (Violation of Secure Design Principles), a category describing vulnerabilities where a security control is structurally absent, architecturally bypassable, or improperly designed rather than suffering from a typical implementation coding error. In this case, an authentication or authorization enforcement point within ACC can be circumvented at the design level, allowing unauthorized data reads. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_campaign_classic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, indicating the affected version range spans across all currently tracked releases of ACC in NVD. Exact affected and fixed versions must be confirmed from Adobe advisory APSB26-120.

DescriptionCVE.org

Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) is affected by a Violation of Secure Design Principles vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized read access. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using Adobe Campaign Classic face immediate risk of sensitive data exposure through a critical unauthenticated remote vulnerability (CVE-2026-48399, CVSS 7.5). Business systems managing customer data and operational information are exposed to attack without requiring user credentials. No vendor patch is currently available, making interim protective controls essential to prevent data breach.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) restrict network access to ACC via firewall rules and network segmentation-limit connectivity to authorized personnel and required integrations only; (2) implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block exploitation; (3) enable enhanced logging and monitoring across all ACC instances to detect unauthorized access; (4) enforce strong authentication controls on ACC administrative functions; (5) establish incident response procedures for potential data access; (6) plan expedited patch deployment upon vendor release.
