CVE-2026-34624
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 6.5.24, FP11.7 and earlier are affected by a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this issue by manipulating the DOM environment to execute malicious JavaScript within the context of the victim's browser. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must visit a crafted webpage.
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 confidenceAdobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.24, FP11.7 and earlier contain a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability where malicious JavaScript can be executed within a victim's browser through manipulation of the DOM environment.

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 AEM versionAccess the AEM System Information console at /system/console/configMgr/org.apache.sling.installer.ConfigurationInspector or check the version.properties file in the AEM installation directory. The version is also visible on the AEM Welcome page under Version Information.Affected if The installed version is 6.5.24.0 or any earlier 6.5.x release.
-
Identify AEM Screens versionCheck the AEM Screens version through the AEM Screens player settings, or locate the com.adobe.cq.screens.com.adobe.cq.screens.ui.apps JAR file in the AEM instance and examine its manifest. The version is also visible in the AEM package manager.Affected if AEM Screens version is earlier than 6.5.11.8.
-
Verify DOM-based XSS exposureReview custom AEM components, client-side JavaScript files, and any custom sling selectors that render user input directly into the HTML DOM. Look for patterns where request parameters or content properties are inserted into the DOM via innerHTML, insertAdjacentHTML, or document.write without sanitization.Affected if The AEM instance runs vulnerable versions AND contains custom components or scripts that reflect unsanitized input into the DOM.
The environment is affected if running Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.24.0 or earlier, or AEM Screens earlier than 6.5.11.8, especially when custom components manipulate the DOM with unsanitized user input.

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.
dbcve · scoped6.5.11.8
Upgrade Adobe Experience Manager to a version beyond 6.5.24 and FP11.7. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and validate/sanitize any user-controlled data reflected in the DOM.
Experience Manager 6.5.24.1 or later / Experience Manager Screens 6.5.11.8 or later
- 1. Navigate to the Adobe Experience Manager downloads page on helpx.adobe.com
- 2. Locate the Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.24.1 or later release (service pack or cumulative fix pack)
- 3. Download the appropriate service pack for your AEM installation type (AEM Forms, AEM Screens, etc.)
- 4. Back up your current AEM environment and database before applying any updates
- 5. Install the service pack following Adobe's documented installation procedure for your specific deployment
- 6. Verify the DOM-based XSS vulnerability is resolved by testing with the identified attack vector
- 7. For Experience Manager Screens, ensure version 6.5.11.8 or later is applied
