AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately inventory their Adobe Experience Manager deployments to identify affected versions (6.5.22 and earlier). In the interim, restrict network access to AEM administrative interfaces to trusted IPs only, implement strict role-based access controls to minimize privileges, and enable detailed logging and monitoring for suspicious activities related to privilege escalations. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block anomalous access patterns targeting AEM. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on access control mechanisms within AEM. Additionally, ensure that all other components in the environment are up to date to reduce the attack surface. Prepare incident response plans to quickly address any exploitation attempts.

Description

Adobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.22 and earlier are affected by an Improper Access Control vulnerability that could result in privilege escalation. A low privileged attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain limited unauthorized elevated access. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
