How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-46993 is a stored XSS vulnerability in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) versions 6.5.22 and earlier. Attackers with low privileges can inject malicious JavaScript into vulnerable form fields, which persists in the application. When a victim accesses a page containing the compromised field, the script executes in their browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or unauthorized actions. The attack exploits insufficient input sanitization in AEM’s form handling, allowing payloads to bypass security filters.
