Summary
CVE-2026-76195 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. The flaw carries the maximum CVSS v3.1 score of 10.0, requires no privileges or user interaction, and affects fully on-premise ACC deployments as well as the on-premise components of hybrid deployments. It was disclosed by Adobe on August 25, 2026 as part of security bulletin APSB26-134, alongside several other critical vulnerabilities in the same product (including a related OS command injection issue, CVE-2026-76197, and an SSRF issue, CVE-2026-76193).
Technical details
- Root cause: Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (CWE-78) within Adobe Campaign Classic, allowing attacker-supplied input to be passed to and executed by the underlying operating system shell.
- Trigger conditions: No authentication or user interaction is required to trigger the vulnerability; the flaw is reachable over the network.
- Attack vector: Network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N).
- Impact: Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user running the ACC process, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and a changed scope (S:C), meaning the impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component itself.
- Deployment scope: Adobe notes this bulletin applies only to fully on-premise Adobe Campaign Classic deployments and the on-premise components of hybrid deployments; Adobe-hosted instances have already been remediated and require no customer action.
Affected software
- Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) v7: build 9400 and earlier (Windows and Linux)
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 10.0 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H - Adobe Priority Rating: 1 (highest — exploitation likely, patch immediately)
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Upgrade on-premise Adobe Campaign Classic v7 installations (Windows and Linux) to build 9401 or later, as detailed in Adobe’s official release notes referenced in APSB26-134.
- Hybrid deployments: Apply the same on-premise patch to the on-premise components; Adobe has already remediated the Adobe-hosted portions of hybrid environments.
- If immediate patching is not possible: Restrict network access to Adobe Campaign Classic management and application interfaces to trusted internal networks/VPNs only, and closely monitor logs for anomalous process execution or command-injection indicators until the patch can be applied. Adobe has not published a workaround in lieu of patching, so upgrading remains the only fully effective remediation.
