CVE-2025-47019 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) versions 6.5.22 and earlier. This vulnerability allows a low-privileged attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code into vulnerable form fields within the AEM interface. When a victim user accesses a page containing the compromised form field, the injected script executes in their browser context. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, indicating improper neutralization of input leading to script injection. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), and low privileges (PR:L), but does require user interaction (UI:R) to trigger the malicious script execution. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity (C:L, I:L) but does not impact availability (A:N). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.4, indicating a medium severity level. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches or mitigation links have been published yet. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation or output encoding in form fields, allowing persistent malicious scripts to be stored and later executed in users' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user.

For European organizations using Adobe Experience Manager, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to web application security and user data confidentiality. A successful exploit could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the browsers of administrators or content managers, potentially leading to session hijacking, theft of sensitive information, or unauthorized modification of content. This could result in reputational damage, data breaches, and compliance violations under regulations such as GDPR. Given that AEM is widely used by enterprises, government agencies, and media companies across Europe for content management and digital experience delivery, exploitation could disrupt critical business operations and compromise sensitive customer or internal data. The medium severity score reflects the need for timely remediation to prevent exploitation, especially since the vulnerability requires only low privileges to exploit and affects the integrity and confidentiality of data.

European organizations should immediately audit their Adobe Experience Manager installations to identify affected versions (6.5.22 and earlier). Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement strict input validation and output encoding on all form fields to prevent script injection. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. Limit user privileges to the minimum necessary, especially for users who can input data into vulnerable fields. Monitor web application logs for suspicious input patterns indicative of XSS attempts. Additionally, educate administrators and content managers about the risks of clicking on untrusted links or content within the AEM environment. Once Adobe releases an official patch, prioritize its deployment in all affected environments. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting AEM. Regularly review and update security configurations to reduce the attack surface.
