AI-suggested
Organizations should prioritize the following mitigation steps: 1) Monitor Adobe’s official security advisories for patches addressing CVE-2025-46991 and apply updates promptly once available. 2) Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all form fields within AEM to prevent injection of malicious scripts. 3) Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. 4) Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities, including XSS. 5) Educate users, especially administrators and content editors, about the risks of clicking on suspicious links or interacting with untrusted content. 6) Use web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tuned to detect and block XSS payloads targeting AEM. 7) Limit privileges of users who can submit content to reduce the impact of a low-privilege attacker. These measures, combined with timely patching, will reduce the attack surface and mitigate exploitation risks.
Description
Adobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.22 and earlier are affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by a low privileged attacker to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. Malicious JavaScript may be executed in a victim’s browser when they browse to the page containing the vulnerable field.
