Synopsis

The Adobe Experience Manager instance installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Experience Manager installed on the remote host is prior to 6.5.11.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-103 advisory.

- AEM's Cloud Service offering, as well as versions 6.5.7.0 (and below), 6.4.8.3 (and below) and 6.3.3.8 (and below) are affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by an attacker to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. Malicious JavaScript may be executed in a victim's browser when they browse to the page containing the vulnerable field. (CVE-2021-43761)

- AEM Forms Cloud Service offering, as well as version 6.5.10.0 (and below) are affected by an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability that could be abused by an attacker to achieve RCE. (CVE-2021-40722)

- AEM's Cloud Service offering, as well as version 6.5.10.0 (and below) are affected by a dispatcher bypass vulnerability that could be abused to evade security controls. Sensitive areas of the web application may be exposed through exploitation of the vulnerability. (CVE-2021-43762)

- AEM's Cloud Service offering, as well as version 6.5.10.0 (and below) are affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by an attacker to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. Malicious JavaScript may be executed in a victim's browser when they browse to the page containing the vulnerable field. (CVE-2021-43764, CVE-2021-43765, CVE-2021-44176, CVE-2021-44177)

- AEM's Cloud Service offering, as well as version 6.5.10.0 (and below) are affected by a reflected Cross- Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the itemResourceType parameter. If an attacker is able to convince a victim to visit a URL referencing a vulnerable page, malicious JavaScript content may be executed within the context of the victim's browser (CVE-2021-44178)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
