| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions per the vendor vector - remote unauthenticated exploitation (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L) against Adobe Campaign Classic, requiring only network reachability to the vulnerable ACC instance/component. The advisory does not name a specific feature, protocol, or non-default setting as a prerequisite, so the primary practical limiting factor is network exposure (whether the affected ACC endpoint is internet-facing versus internal-only) and running an unpatched version. Scope is changed, meaning successful exploitation can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. |
| Impact | The vendor CVSS of 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) marks this as maximum severity: network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no user interaction, with a scope change and full CIA impact. Exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - the sole reference is Adobe's own advisory APSB26-142, with no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC provided in the input. So the theoretical risk (unauthenticated RCE in the current-user context) is severe and, if the affected component is internet-exposed, warrants priority patching; but the practical exploitation signal is currently absent and the disclosure is single-source (vendor self-reported). No SSVC decision data was supplied. The 10.0 rests entirely on the vendor's own vector; there is no independent NVD analysis, EPSS probability, or corroborating reference to cross-check it against, so treat active-exploitation likelihood as unquantified rather than confirmed. This is a genuine high-priority patch candidate for ACC operators, but its real-world exploitation footprint is unproven at analysis time. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to an internet-reachable Adobe Campaign Classic instance that injects attacker-controlled code into a vulnerable generation/processing path (CWE-94), achieving arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user without any user interaction. Because scope is changed, the compromise can extend beyond the vulnerable component to other resources. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis; assessment relies on the vendor advisory only. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026
Arbitrary code execution in Adobe Campaign Classic, documented in Adobe security advisory APSB26-142, lets remote attackers run code in the context of the running ACC service. The vendor's CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) marks it as maximum severity: network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, requiring no user interaction, with a scope change and full loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit code has been identified and there is no confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing) at time of analysis, so the practical exposure driver is whether an unpatched ACC instance is reachable over the network.
RemediationAI
Apply the Adobe fix released with security bulletin APSB26-142 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/campaign/apsb26-142.html); the provided data does not include an exact fixed build number, so the advisory's remediation section should be used to identify the specific patched release for your deployment - patch available per vendor advisory. Until the upgrade is scheduled, the dominant compensating control is reducing network reachability, since AV:N/PR:N means any host that can reach the vulnerable ACC component can attempt exploitation: place the ACC instance and its workflow/API endpoints behind a VPN or an allowlisting reverse proxy and remove direct internet exposure, accepting the trade-off that remote clients, integrations, and mobile/API consumers will lose access unless routed through the proxy. If server-side scripting or workflow features are not needed by current campaigns, restrict or disable their invocation and audit existing workflow/script definitions, with the trade-off of breaking legitimate campaign automation that depends on those features. Where exposure cannot be removed immediately, add monitoring for unexpected creation or modification of workflows and server-side scripts and for outbound connections initiated by the ACC server, accepting that detection does not prevent exploitation. Rotate credentials and secrets accessible to the ACC service if compromise is suspected, given the scope change and full CIA impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is classified as CWE-94, Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), meaning the product constructs executable code from input it does not sufficiently neutralize, allowing an attacker to influence what the application (or its server-side runtime) executes. Adobe Campaign Classic is a marketing-automation platform whose server components, workflow engine, and server-side scripting facilities execute logic on behalf of the application, making that generation surface a natural injection target. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_campaign_classic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, so all versions are treated as in scope until the vendor advisory enumerates affected and fixed builds. Two details sharpen the risk profile: the vector's PR:N/UI:N means no credentials or victim interaction are needed, and S:C (scope changed) indicates successful exploitation can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component's own security scope - consistent with code execution that can reach the host or integrated downstream systems rather than being contained to a single sandboxed feature.

DescriptionCVE.org
Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) is affected by an Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') 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. Scope is changed.

Executive ViewAI
A maximum-severity flaw in Adobe Campaign Classic (APSB26-142) allows an unauthenticated network attacker to execute arbitrary code as the platform's service account, putting the customer data, campaign content, and integration credentials that marketing operations depend on at full risk of disclosure, tampering, or destruction. Because the vulnerable service is typically reachable from broad corporate and partner networks and requires no credentials or user interaction, any internet- or intranet-exposed, unpatched instance is a direct path to compromise of a system that sits at the center of customer engagement. Leadership should treat this as a business-continuity and data-protection exposure, not a routine update, given Adobe has not yet released a fix.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: remove network reachability (internet-facing exposure, broad internal segments) and restrict access to named administrative hosts via firewall/ACL; require VPN with MFA for all administrative and integration access; segment ACC from adjacent corporate and production networks with strict egress filtering; rotate service account, database, and integration credentials; enable logging and alerting for anomalous process spawning, outbound connections, and file modification by the ACC service account; place a WAF or reverse proxy in front of any interface that cannot be taken offline; verify isolated, restorable backups of campaign and customer data; and pursue hotfix or mitigation guidance from Adobe support under APSB26-142.

Attack Technique
Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
