MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) indicates unauthenticated remote exploitation with no user interaction against a network-reachable Adobe Campaign Classic instance; the description explicitly confirms 'Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.' The primary limiting factors are: the target ACC instance must be network-accessible to the attacker (ACC deployments are frequently internal/segmented rather than internet-facing), and resulting code execution is bounded to the context of the current user rather than a privileged/system account. The advisory does not disclose a specific non-default feature or configuration prerequisite, so exploitation appears to target the standard ACC application surface. |
| Impact | The vendor CVSS of 9.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) describes a remotely reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw requiring no user interaction, which normally warrants top-tier prioritization. However, several risk-amplifying signals that would confirm urgency are absent: EPSS is not provided, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced - so this is a high-CVSS issue with no evidence of active or imminent exploitation at time of analysis. A notable internal inconsistency: the description states this results in 'arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user,' yet the vendor vector sets A:N (no availability impact), which is unusual for a code-execution flaw and suggests the impact model may be constrained to the current user's session/data rather than full host compromise - this warrants verification against the Adobe advisory. The CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) classification also tempers the 'RCE' framing: the root cause is an authorization gap that permits an operation the user should not be able to invoke, rather than a memory-corruption primitive. Net: treat as a genuine high priority for ACC operators given unauthenticated network reachability, but note that the exploitation-likelihood signals (EPSS/KEV/POC) are all missing rather than confirming widespread risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to an internet- or intranet-reachable Adobe Campaign Classic instance, abusing an incorrect-authorization check to invoke a privileged operation that leads to code execution in the context of the current user. No user interaction or valid credentials are required. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026
Unauthenticated remote code execution in Adobe Campaign Classic allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user due to an incorrect authorization flaw (CWE-863). The flaw is network-reachable with low complexity and no user interaction (CVSS 9.1), though code execution is limited to the application user context rather than system privileges. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch referenced in Adobe security advisory APSB26-142; no specific fix version is provided in the available data. Until a patch can be applied, restrict network access to Adobe Campaign Classic instances to trusted IP ranges or internal networks only, as the vulnerability requires network reachability and is unauthenticated. This may reduce accessibility for legitimate remote users. Additionally, enforce least privilege for the ACC service account to limit the impact of code execution, and monitor for anomalous authorization bypass attempts. These are compensating controls and do not fully eliminate the risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is an instance of CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the application fails to properly verify that a user is authorized to perform an action or access a resource. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass authorization checks and execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_campaign_classic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates that all versions of Adobe Campaign Classic are potentially affected unless a patch is applied. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms network-based exploitation with no privileges or user interaction required, and the independent assessment notes that the resulting code execution is bounded to the application user context, not system-level privileges. No specific non-default configuration prerequisite is disclosed.

DescriptionCVE.org
Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) is affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
Articles & Coverage 1
Executive ViewAI
Adobe Campaign Classic is affected by a critical remote code execution vulnerability that could allow an attacker to run arbitrary code within the application's user context. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, so organizations using this platform face a heightened risk of unauthorized access to campaign data and potential lateral movement, making it essential for security leadership to prioritize mitigation efforts.
No vendor patch available. Interim mitigations include restricting network access to trusted IP ranges, enforcing least privilege for application users, enabling detailed logging and monitoring, and deploying virtual patching via WAF if supported.
