Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated low-privileged account on the Adobe Campaign Classic application (PR:L), reachable over the network (AV:N), with no user interaction (UI:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L). The concrete prerequisite is credentialed access to an ACC instance whose input reaches an unsanitized SQL query path; anonymous attackers cannot exploit it directly. Limiting factors: the credential requirement narrows exposure to provisioned users, and organizations restricting ACC to internal networks or trusted operator accounts further reduce realistic attack surface. Exact vulnerable versions must be confirmed against APSB26-142.

Impact

This is a genuine high-priority vulnerability that should not be dismissed as CVSS-inflation. The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.9) is internally coherent with the description: SQL injection (CWE-89) reachable over the network by a low-privileged authenticated user with no user interaction, escalating to arbitrary code execution with a changed scope. The scope change plus full C/I/A impact is what drives the near-maximal score, and the 'arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user' language supports the I:H/A:H rating credibly. Countervailing signals: no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so despite the critical score there is no evidence of active exploitation or automatable mass-exploitation at this time - this is a paper-critical finding rather than a confirmed in-the-wild threat. No SSVC decision fields were provided. The one genuine gate is PR:L: the attacker must already hold valid low-privilege credentials to the ACC application, which meaningfully narrows the exposed population to authenticated users versus fully anonymous internet attackers. Net: treat as urgent-to-patch (especially for internet-exposed ACC instances with many low-trust accounts), but current exploitation likelihood is unquantified due to missing EPSS/KEV/POC data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged authenticated user of an Adobe Campaign Classic instance submits crafted input into a field or API parameter that is concatenated into a backend SQL query, injecting SQL that the database executes. Because the flaw permits arbitrary code execution in the current user's context with a changed scope, the attacker pivots from data-tier injection to command execution beyond the application boundary. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and no user interaction is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026

SQL injection in Adobe Campaign Classic allows an authenticated low-privileged user to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, with no victim interaction required, carrying a CVSS base score of 9.9. The vulnerability is exploitable over the network with low attack complexity (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) and is rated Scope Changed, meaning a successful attack can escape the ACC application boundary and affect the underlying database or host rather than remaining confined to the web tier. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the credential-only precondition and the low privilege bar make this a priority fix for any broadly provisioned or externally reachable Campaign Classic instance.

RemediationAI

Apply the fix published in Adobe security bulletin APSB26-142 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/campaign/apsb26-142.html); the advisory is the authoritative source for the exact patched build, as a specific fixed version is not enumerated in the available data, so version mapping should be confirmed with Adobe before considering an instance remediated, and patching Campaign Classic normally requires a maintenance window with application/service restarts. If patching cannot be completed immediately, prioritize compensating controls that directly address the PR:L precondition and the SQL injection path: reduce and audit the population of low-privileged ACC accounts, removing dormant or shared operator logins (trade-off: legitimate marketing staff may lose access and require re-provisioning); restrict network reachability of the ACC web UI, client-console ports and APIs to trusted networks or VPN allowlists and block direct internet exposure (trade-off: remote and third-party operators lose connectivity unless tunnelled); and downgrade the database account used by ACC to the minimum privileges actually required, eliminating dbo/sysadmin-style rights (trade-off: scheduled workflows and certain data-loading jobs may break and need individual re-testing). Supplement with a WAF applying SQL-injection signatures in front of the ACC endpoints (trade-off: encoding-based bypasses and false positives against legitimate query-heavy functionality), enable verbose database and application query logging with alerting on anomalous SQL structure or unexpected metadata access to catch post-exploitation activity, and rotate credentials for ACC application and database service accounts in case the injection path was already exercised.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Adobe Campaign Classic is an enterprise marketing-automation and campaign-management platform whose web UI, client console and APIs sit in front of a SQL relational database that stores recipient data, schemas, workflow definitions and delivery configuration. The flaw is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): attacker-controlled input reaches a SQL statement without parameterization or adequate escaping, letting the attacker alter query structure rather than merely supply data. Per the assessed vector, the injection point is network-reachable and requires only a valid low-privileged account (PR:L), with no user interaction (UI:N), so an ordinary provisioned operator or standard user is sufficient. Because the CVSS scope is marked Changed (S:C) and impact is High across confidentiality, integrity and availability, the injected statements can plausibly move beyond read access into data modification, stored-procedure invocation or database features that yield code execution on the database host - consistent with the advisory's stated outcome of arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_campaign_classic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, so the exact vulnerable build range must be confirmed against Adobe advisory APSB26-142 rather than assumed.

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

Why It Matters

Adobe Campaign Classic - the platform many organizations use to orchestrate customer campaigns and store consolidated customer and prospect data - is affected by a critical SQL injection flaw that lets a low-privileged user account achieve code execution and escape the application boundary into the underlying database or host. With no vendor patch available, any internet-reachable or broadly provisioned Campaign Classic instance represents both a data-loss exposure (customer PII, campaign and segmentation logic) and a potential pivot point into adjacent infrastructure. Leadership should treat this as a containment and identity-governance problem in the near term, not a routine patch cycle item, and should expect the risk to persist until Adobe publishes a fix.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict network exposure of Adobe Campaign Classic to trusted IP ranges or VPN/zero-trust access; enforce strict least privilege and eliminate unused or shared low-privileged accounts (the vulnerability requires authenticated low-privileged access); enable MFA on all Campaign Classic logins; deploy WAF/reverse-proxy SQL injection filtering on ACC endpoints; segment the application tier from the underlying database and host to limit the Scope Changed impact; enable and monitor detailed database query logging for anomalous SQL activity; and maintain an accelerated change window so the vendor fix can be applied immediately on release.
