CVE-2026-34625
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 · moderate confidenceAdobe Experience Manager versions 6.5.24, FP11.7 and earlier contain a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Attackers can manipulate the DOM environment to execute malicious JavaScript within the victim's browser context. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, specifically that the victim visits a crafted webpage.

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 instance versionAccess the AEM Welcome page and locate the version information, typically found in the 'Version' field, or query the endpoint /system/console/bundles to retrieve the bundle version information for core AEM componentsAffected if The displayed version number is 6.5.24.0 or any version earlier than 6.5.24.0 (e.g., 6.5.23.x, 6.5.0, etc.)
-
Check AEM Screens version if installedLocate the AEM Screens package or component version through the Package Manager (/crx/packmgr/index.jsp) or by checking the installed bundles related to Screens functionality under /system/console/bundlesAffected if AEM Screens is installed and its version is below 6.5.11.8
-
Verify DOM manipulation exposureInspect whether the AEM instance hosts or renders user-generated content, forms, or web pages that could be targeted for DOM-based XSS injection; review the instance for custom components that manipulate the Document Object Model without proper sanitizationAffected if The AEM instance renders content where untrusted input can be injected into the DOM without sanitization (e.g., custom components, third-party integrations, or user-generated content blocks)
The environment is affected if AEM version is 6.5.24.0 or earlier, or if AEM Screens is present with a version below 6.5.11.8, and the instance processes content that could allow DOM manipulation by an attacker.

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 patched version beyond 6.5.24 and FP11.7. Until patched, users should avoid visiting untrusted websites that could serve crafted pages targeting this vulnerability.
AEM 6.5.24.1+ (core) and AEM Screens 6.5.11.8+
- Backup the current AEM instance including repository, database, and configurations
- Review Adobe Experience Manager 6.5.24.1+ upgrade documentation for your specific current version
- Test the upgrade in a non-production environment first
- Upgrade AEM to version 6.5.24.1 or later for the core AEM fix
- Upgrade AEM Screens to version 6.5.11.8 or later if that component is used
- Validate the fix by verifying the XSS vulnerability is no longer present in the DOM handling
- Deploy to production after successful validation
