Summary

Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 LTS through 6.5 LTS SP3 and Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 through 6.5.25 are affected. An OS command injection flaw (CWE-78) occurs because special elements are not neutralized before an OS command runs. A low-privileged remote attacker can execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user without user interaction, and the scope changes.
