## What to check

- Applies to: The 14 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation: No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.

NCSC-NL published an advisory summarizing Adobe's patches for multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). The most severe issues (CVSS 9.9) involve improper control of code generation mechanisms, enabling a low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges without any user interaction. Additional flaws include stored, reflected, and DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities that allow injection and execution of malicious JavaScript in a victim's browser, as well as incorrect authorization checks permitting unauthorized code execution and an input validation weakness that could allow security mechanism bypass.

Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in unauthorized code execution, privilege escalation, and unauthorized access to data or functionality within AEM deployments. No in-the-wild exploitation is mentioned in the advisory. Adobe has released updates addressing all listed CVEs; affected organizations running AEM should apply the vendor patches promptly, prioritizing the CVSS 9.9-rated code injection and privilege escalation issues.

This is a routine vendor patch advisory relayed by NCSC-NL with no indication of active exploitation, proof-of-concept availability, or threat actor involvement. Defenders should treat this as a patch-management action item, verifying AEM instances are updated to the fixed versions referenced in Adobe's own security bulletin.
