Feiten
Adobe heeft kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Adobe Experience Manager (versies 6.5.23 en eerder).
Interpretaties
De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de configuratie van Adobe Experience Manager, waardoor aanvallers in staat zijn om willekeurige code uit te voeren zonder enige interactie van de gebruiker. Dit kan leiden tot ongeautoriseerde toegang en controle over de getroffen systemen. Daarnaast is er een kwetsbaarheid gerapporteerd die te maken heeft met een onjuiste beperking van XML External Entity Reference (XXE), waardoor aanvallers bestanden van het lokale bestandssysteem kunnen lezen zonder gebruikersinteractie. Beide kwetsbaarheden vormen een ernstig risico voor de integriteit van gegevens en systemen. Adobe geeft aan dat voor beide kwetsbaarheden PoC code publiek beschikbaar is. Het Amerikaanse CISA heeft de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2025-54253 op de KEV-lijst geplaatst, wat aangeeft dat zij actief misbruik hebben waargenomen binnen de Amerikaanse federale overheid. Er worden verder geen details gegeven. Mede door de recente aandacht op diverse blogs voor deze kwetsbaarheid, wordt het aannemelijk dat de reeds langer beschikbare Proof-of-Concept-code kan leiden tot een verhoging in scan- en misbruikverkeer. Het NCSC adviseert om de updates zo spoedig mogelijk in te zetten, indien dit nog niet is gebeurd.
Oplossingen
Adobe heeft updates uitgebracht om de kwetsbaarheden te verhelpen. Zie bijgevoegde referenties voor meer informatie.
