# CVE-2020-9743: HTML injection in AEM's content editor component

- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2020-09-10 · Updated: 2024-09-16

## Affected

- Adobe Experience Manager: through 6.5.5.0; through 6.4.8.1; through 6.3.3.8; through 6.2 SP1-CFP20

## Description

AEM versions 6.5.5.0 (and below), 6.4.8.1 (and below), 6.3.3.8 (and below) and 6.2 SP1-CFP20 (and below) are affected by an HTML injection vulnerability in the content editor component that allows unauthenticated users to craft an HTTP request that includes arbitrary HTML code in a parameter value. An attacker could then use the malicious GET request to lure victims to perform unsafe actions in the page (ex. phishing).

## What to do
