CVE-2024-36153: 
Adobe Experience Manager vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2024-36153 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Adobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.20 and earlier. The vulnerability was disclosed on June 13, 2024, and affects both the standard AEM installations and AEM Cloud Service versions up to 2024.5 (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be exploited by an attacker to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. When a victim browses to the page containing the vulnerable field, the malicious JavaScript may be executed in their browser. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, indicating that it requires low attack complexity but also requires user interaction (Adobe Advisory).

The vulnerability can lead to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the victim's browser session when they visit a page containing the injected malicious script. This could potentially allow attackers to steal sensitive information, manipulate page content, or perform actions on behalf of the victim (NVD).

The vulnerability requires an attacker to have low-level privileges to inject the malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. Successful exploitation also depends on user interaction, as victims need to browse to the page containing the compromised field (NVD).

Adobe has addressed this vulnerability in versions after 6.5.20 for standard AEM installations and in version 2024.5 for AEM Cloud Service. Users are advised to update their installations to the latest version to mitigate this security risk (Adobe Advisory).
