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 | Requires an authenticated low-privileged Adobe Campaign Classic account (PR:L) with network reach to the ACC application; no user interaction is needed and attack complexity is low. Exploitation targets a SQL-injectable input path that lets the attacker inject SQL into a backend query, crossing into the database security context (Scope changed) to achieve unauthorized reads and limited writes. Limiting factors: the attacker must first possess valid credentials (no unauthenticated path per the vector), and impact is bounded to full read exposure but only 'limited write' - not arbitrary integrity/availability compromise. Real-world exposure is highest for ACC instances reachable from untrusted networks where low-privilege accounts are broadly provisioned. |
| Impact | This is a genuine priority for organizations running Adobe Campaign Classic, though its real-world urgency is tempered by an authentication prerequisite. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L, base 9.1) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection requiring only low-privilege authentication and no user interaction, with a scope change (S:C) elevating the score because the injected SQL crosses the security boundary of the application into the database. The high score is driven predominantly by C:H (broad database read exposure) combined with the scope change; integrity and availability are rated only Low (I:L/A:L), consistent with the description's 'unauthorized read and limited write access' rather than full compromise. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so despite the near-critical CVSS this should be read as no public exploit identified at time of analysis - not confirmed active exploitation. The gating factor is that an attacker must already hold a valid low-privileged ACC account, which meaningfully narrows the threat population to insiders or attackers who have first obtained credentials. SSVC-style framing: exploitation is not observed, the flaw is likely automatable once authenticated, and technical impact is partial (limited write) rather than total. Net: patch on a normal-to-elevated cadence, prioritizing internet-exposed instances, but this is not a drop-everything unauthenticated RCE. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged Adobe Campaign Classic account (or one who has phished/purchased such credentials) submits crafted input to a vulnerable parameter that is concatenated into a SQL query, injecting their own SQL to read data and perform limited writes they are not authorized for, bypassing application security controls. Because Scope is changed and no user interaction is needed, a single authenticated request can reach data across the security boundary. No public proof-of-concept exploit is identified in the available data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026
SQL injection in Adobe Campaign Classic lets an authenticated, low-privileged operator inject SQL through an application input path to read the full contents of backend database queries and perform limited writes, with the flaw rated CVSS 9.1 because the injection crosses out of the web tier into the database security context (Scope: Changed). Exploitation requires only a valid low-privilege ACC account, needs no user interaction, and is low complexity; the provided intelligence contains no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis. Real-world urgency therefore hinges on how broadly low-privilege accounts are provisioned and how exposed the ACC application is to untrusted networks.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix published in Adobe security bulletin apsb26-142 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/campaign/apsb26-142.html); patch availability should be confirmed against that advisory because the provided data does not enumerate an exact fixed build, so treat the bulletin as the source of truth for the specific version to deploy - patch status per available data is vendor advisory published, exact fixed version not specified in the input. Because the attack requires a valid low-privilege ACC account (PR:L), the highest-value compensating control is credential and access reduction: audit ACC operator accounts, disable or remove unused and service accounts, and enforce least privilege so that few identities can reach the vulnerable input path - the trade-off is administrative overhead and potential disruption to legitimate campaign workflows if accounts are culled too aggressively. Reduce network exposure by placing ACC web and console interfaces behind VPN or an allowlisted reverse proxy rather than exposing them to untrusted networks, accepting the trade-off of reduced accessibility for remote or partner users. Deploy a WAF with SQL-injection signatures in blocking or at least alerting mode in front of ACC endpoints as a stopgap, understanding that signature evasion is possible and this does not fix the underlying flaw. Log and alert on anomalous database query patterns and unexpected read-volume or write activity from low-privilege operators, which aids detection but does not prevent exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-89, Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command: a user-controllable input is incorporated into a backend SQL statement without adequate parameterization or escaping, so an attacker can terminate or extend the intended query and append their own SQL. Adobe Campaign Classic is a marketing-automation platform whose console and web-facing components issue queries against a backend campaign database; the injection point lets the attacker act inside that database's authorization context rather than the application's, which is why the CVSS vector carries S:C (Scope Changed) alongside C:H. The vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L confirms a network-reachable attack that is low complexity, requires prior authentication at low privilege (PR:L) rather than being unauthenticated, needs no user interaction, and yields high confidentiality impact with only limited integrity and availability impact - the description matches this by describing unauthorized read plus limited write access and a security-feature bypass rather than full takeover. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_campaign_classic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, so all ACC versions should be treated as potentially in scope until the vendor advisory specifies fixed builds.

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 a Security feature bypass. A low-privileged attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized read and limited write access. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
Executive ViewAI
Adobe Campaign Classic is affected by a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-82011, CVSS 9.1) that enables an attacker to read full backend database contents and perform limited writes, potentially resulting in data exfiltration or integrity loss. Organizations using this platform-particularly those with internet-facing deployments-face elevated risk of unauthorized data access and regulatory penalties. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but leadership should act urgently given the critical severity and lack of a vendor patch.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: network segmentation to limit ACC exposure to untrusted networks, strict least-privilege enforcement for all ACC accounts, deployment of WAF rules targeting SQL injection patterns, continuous database activity monitoring with anomaly detection, and regular audits of user permissions and database query logs.
