Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThis is an input validation vulnerability in Adobe Campaign Classic where insufficient validation of user-supplied input allows an authenticated attacker to access sensitive information beyond what their current user context should permit. The flaw enables unauthorized disclosure of data that should be restricted.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Adobe Campaign Classic versionAccess the Adobe Campaign Classic client or web interface and navigate to the About or Version information section, typically found in Help > About or the dashboard. Alternatively, check the installation directory for a version file or examine the server logs for startup version information.Affected if The installed version is 18.10.5.8984 or earlier (any version <= 18.10.5.8984)
-
Confirm Campaign installation typeVerify that the installation is Adobe Campaign Classic (not Adobe Campaign Standard). This vulnerability affects only the Classic variant. Check the product name in the About section or in the installation documentation.Affected if The product is Adobe Campaign Classic and the version falls within the affected range
-
Review user access controlsExamine the user roles and permissions configured in Adobe Campaign Classic. Navigate to Administration > Access Management > Named Rights or similar permission configuration panels to review what data access each user role has been granted.Affected if Users with limited roles have been granted access to sensitive data or schemas outside their intended scope, indicating the vulnerability may be present
-
Check audit logs for unauthorized data accessLocate and review Adobe Campaign Classic audit logs, typically found in the installation logs directory or within the platform's monitoring interface. Look for queries or data access operations from authenticated users accessing data outside their normal permissions.Affected if Logs show authenticated users accessing data or schemas beyond what their assigned roles should permit
A user is affected if Adobe Campaign Classic version 18.10.5.8984 or earlier is installed and the application processes user-supplied input that could be manipulated to bypass access controls.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply the vendor-provided patch or upgrade to a patched version of Adobe Campaign Classic beyond 18.10.5-8984. Additionally, implement robust input validation and sanitization on all user-facing fields as a defense-in-depth measure.
