Adobe Experience Manager vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) versions 6.5.21 and earlier contain a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-43752. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on December 10, 2024, affecting both AEM on-premise installations and AEM Cloud Service deployments (NVD, Adobe Advisory).

The vulnerability is classified as a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue (CWE-79) that could be exploited by injecting malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. When victims browse to the page containing the compromised field, the malicious JavaScript executes 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 network accessibility with low attack complexity but requiring user interaction (NVD).

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to inject and execute malicious JavaScript code in victims' browsers when they visit affected pages. This could lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks within the context of the affected AEM installation (NVD).

Adobe has released security updates to address this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to versions newer than AEM 6.5.21 or ensure their AEM Cloud Service installation is updated to version 2024.11.0 or later (NVD).
