CVE-2025-47065 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 environment. When a victim user accesses a page containing the compromised form field, the injected script executes in their browser context. This stored XSS flaw arises from insufficient input sanitization and output encoding in form fields, enabling persistent script injection that remains on the server and affects multiple users. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4, indicating a medium severity level. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires low privileges (PR:L), and user interaction (UI:R) to trigger the payload. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact includes limited confidentiality and integrity loss, as malicious scripts can steal session tokens, perform actions on behalf of users, or manipulate displayed content, but does not affect availability. No public exploits are currently known, and no patches have been linked yet. However, given AEM's widespread use in enterprise content management and web experience delivery, this vulnerability poses a credible risk if exploited.

For European organizations using Adobe Experience Manager, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to user sessions, data leakage, and potential defacement or manipulation of web content. Since AEM is commonly deployed by large enterprises, government agencies, and public sector organizations across Europe for managing digital assets and customer experiences, exploitation could undermine trust, lead to data breaches involving personal or sensitive information, and disrupt business operations. The stored nature of the XSS means multiple users could be affected once malicious content is injected. Attackers could leverage this to conduct phishing campaigns, escalate privileges, or move laterally within networks if combined with other vulnerabilities. The medium severity reflects the need for timely remediation to prevent exploitation, especially in sectors with strict data protection regulations like GDPR. The requirement for user interaction (visiting a malicious page) means social engineering could be a component of attacks, increasing the risk in environments with less security awareness.

Organizations should prioritize upgrading Adobe Experience Manager to the latest patched version once available from Adobe. In the interim, implement strict input validation and output encoding on all form fields within AEM to prevent script injection. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on XSS vectors in AEM deployments. Limit user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the ability of low-privileged users to inject malicious content. Monitor web application logs and user reports for suspicious activity indicative of XSS exploitation. Educate users about the risks of clicking unknown links and reporting unusual web behavior. Additionally, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting AEM. Regularly review and update security configurations and ensure that all third-party components integrated with AEM are also secured against injection attacks.
