Seriously? Adobe *Again*?!

Oh, for the love of all that is holy. Adobe’s AEM Forms are leaking like a sieve. Apparently, some “security researchers” (read: script kiddies with too much time on their hands) published Proof-of-Concept exploits for three zero-day vulnerabilities. Three! Like they weren’t bad enough already.

These aren’t just minor annoyances either. We’re talking about potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) and cross-site scripting (XSS). Meaning some asshole could take complete control of your forms server, or inject malicious crap into everything. Fantastic. Just what we needed.

Adobe, in a rare display of not being *completely* useless, actually released emergency patches. Emergency! Because waiting would have been the sensible thing to do, right? They’re claiming these affect versions 6.5 and 6.4 – so if you’re running those, update. Now. Don’t be an idiot.

The vulnerabilities are CVE-2023-46105, CVE-2023-46106, and CVE-2023-46107. Go look them up if you actually care about security (which I doubt). And for the record, this is a supply chain attack waiting to happen. You’re trusting Adobe with your *forms*. Your *forms*! What could possibly go wrong?

Honestly, it’s just… pathetic. Patch your systems before some loser ruins your day.

Related Anecdote: Back in ’98, I had to babysit a Solaris box running some ancient web server. The admin swore it was “secure by obscurity.” Three hours later, a teenager from Estonia was defacing the homepage with ASCII art. Obscurity isn’t security, people! And Adobe? Well, they’re proving that point daily.
