CVE-2025-64592
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 stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by a low privileged 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.
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 confidenceStored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.23 and earlier allows low-privileged attackers to inject malicious JavaScript into form fields. The malicious payload persists on the page and executes when other users browse to the affected form.

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 installed AEM versionNavigate to the AEM Welcome page or check the product version via the system console (help > about Adobe Experience Manager). Look for the exact version number in the format 6.5.x.x or a 2024.x.x / 2025.x.x release.Affected if The installed version is 6.5.23 or earlier, or any 2025 version before 2025.12.0, or simply 6.5 (meaning 6.5.0).
-
Locate form components in the environmentReview the AEM instance for any forms created using Form components (either Core Components or Foundation Form components). Check the /libs/foundation/components/form or /libs/core/components/form paths, or custom form implementations under /apps.Affected if The AEM instance has published forms that accept user input in fields such as text inputs, textareas, or other form fields.
The environment is affected if the AEM version is below 6.5.24.0 or below 2025.12.0 AND the instance uses form components that accept user input, as these are required for the stored XSS to be exploitable.

dbcve · scoped6.5.24.02025.12.0
Implement proper input validation and output encoding on all form fields in AEM, or upgrade to AEM 6.5.24 or later which contains the security fix.
Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.24.0 or later (6.5.x line) or 2025.12.0 or later (2025 release line)
- 1. Backup your current AEM instance and verify you have a recent backup before proceeding
- 2. Review Adobe's official upgrade documentation for your specific AEM version and deployment type
- 3. Download Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.24.0 or later from the Adobe distribution portal
- 4. Test the upgrade in a non-production environment first to validate compatibility with your custom code and integrations
- 5. Schedule a maintenance window and stop the AEM instance
- 6. Run the upgrade installer following Adobe's documented upgrade procedures
- 7. After upgrade, verify that all custom bundles and applications are functioning correctly
- 8. Confirm the version has been updated by checking the AEM About page
