An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-40722 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Experience Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40722/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40722/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40722","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40722/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40722","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7h8f-9m99-6cfg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Experience Manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit an XML External Entity vulnerability in Adobe Experience Manager Forms to achieve remote code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"experience_manager","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"experience_manager_cloud_service","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"AEM Forms Cloud Service offering, as well as version 6.5.10.0 (and below) are affected by an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability that could be abused by an attacker to achieve RCE.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"AEM Forms Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference","id":"CVE-2021-40722","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"adobe:experience_manager","products":["adobe:experience_manager","adobe:experience_manager_cloud_service"],"type":"xxe","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Acrobat Reader DC Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-40723"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Adobe Connect Reflected Cross Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-40721"},"products":["Experience Manager"],"published":"2022-01-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager | Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863)","id":"CVE-2026-90532","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager | Improper Input Validation (CWE-20)","id":"CVE-2026-105895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager | Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863)","id":"CVE-2026-19232","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager (MS) | Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502)","id":"CVE-2025-49533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in Adobe Experience Manager","id":"CVE-2019-8088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Adobe Experience Manager","id":"CVE-2019-7964","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Adobe"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit an XML External Entity vulnerability in Adobe Experience Manager Forms to achieve remote code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40722/"}
