DescriptionCVE.org

Adobe Experience Manager Forms JEE is affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker with high privileges could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution is possible in Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 Forms JEE and AEM 6.5 LTS Forms JEE via an improper input validation weakness (CWE-20) that is reachable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation is gated by a mandatory prerequisite: the attacker must already hold a high-privilege account on the affected AEM Forms JEE instance (CVSS vector PR:H), so only administrative-level users, or an attacker who has first compromised such an account, can reach the vulnerable code path - the assessed risk is genuine but access-gated. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an attacker who already holds high privileges (PR:H) on an Adobe Experience Manager Forms JEE instance - specifically AEM 6.5 Forms JEE or AEM 6.5 LTS Forms JEE. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine but access-gated risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor fix described in Adobe security bulletin APSB26-151 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/aem-forms/apsb26-151.html); patch availability is confirmed per the vendor advisory, but no exact fixed version number is present in the available data, so administrators should consult the bulletin directly to identify the correct build for their AEM 6.5 Forms JEE or 6.5 LTS Forms JEE deployment before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, confirm which AEM 6.5 Forms JEE and AEM 6.5 LTS Forms JEE instances are internet- or partner-facing and inventory every account holding elevated Forms/administrative privileges, then immediately restrict network reachability to the Forms JEE endpoints via firewall, VPN, or reverse-proxy allowlisting so only trusted administrative networks can reach them, and enforce phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication on all administrative accounts. …
