CVE-2025-64583
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAdobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.23 and earlier are affected by a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be exploited by a low privileged attacker to execute malicious scripts in the context of the victim's browser. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, such as visiting a crafted URL or interacting with a manipulated web page.
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.

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 Experience Manager versionAccess the AEM System Information console at /system/console/configMgr or check the version from the AEM Welcome page under Help > About Adobe Experience ManagerAffected if The installed version is 6.5.x where x is 23 or lower, or 2025.x where x is 11 or lower, or exactly 6.5.0
-
Verify AEM 6.5 service pack levelCheck the installed service pack by navigating to AEM Web Console > Status > Bundles or reviewing the install.log for entries showing 'adobe-experiencemanager' package versionsAffected if The service pack version is lower than 6.5.24.0 (for example, 6.5.23 is vulnerable)
-
Check AEM 2025 release versionIf running the monthly cloud release cadence, verify the release version via the AEM SDK or the version.properties file in the installation directoryAffected if The version shows 2025.x where x is less than 12 (for example, 2025.11 is vulnerable)
You are affected if your AEM installation version is below 6.5.24.0, below 2025.12.0, or exactly 6.5.
