How CVE-2025-46837 Works

This vulnerability exists due to insufficient input sanitization in form fields of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.5.22 and earlier. An attacker crafts a malicious URL containing JavaScript payloads, which gets reflected in the web page without proper encoding. When a victim clicks the manipulated link, the script executes in their browser context, allowing session hijacking, cookie theft, or redirection to phishing sites. The attack requires low privileges, increasing exploit likelihood.
