CVE-2022-30683

AEM Violation of Secure Design Principles Security feature bypass

CVSS 5.3 MEDIUMEPSS 0.6%CWE-657
In short

Adobe Experience Manager has a flaw in its encryption security design that could allow someone with low-level access to bypass the encryption protection and decrypt sensitive secrets. However, the attacker would already need to know what those secrets are, making this a complex attack.

Technical detail

CWE-657 violation in AEM 6.5.13.0 and earlier allows low-privileged users to bypass the encryption mechanism's security design through high-complexity exploitation. The attack requires pre-existing knowledge of the secrets to decrypt and low-privilege access to the AEM instance, potentially leading to exposure of encrypted backend data.
