How can I check if my organization is exposed to CVE-2026-76197?

Ionix offers a free exposure report that maps all assets running Adobe Campaign Classic, identifies potentially exposed assets to CVE-2026-76197, and confirms verified exploitable assets. You can request this report at https://www.ionix.io/request-a-scan/. Note: The accuracy of exposure mapping depends on the completeness of asset discovery and validation.

Ionix Detection, Validation & Mitigation Capabilities

How does Ionix detect and validate exposures to new zero-days like CVE-2026-76197?

Ionix uses multi-factor discovery methods—including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, and metadata inspection—to automatically map every internet-facing asset, including cloud, third-party, and shadow IT infrastructure. For new CVEs, Ionix analyzes dozens of threat intelligence feeds and applies AI to evaluate exploitability, even before public proof-of-concept code is released. The platform filters vulnerabilities by attacker-centric criteria (e.g., reachability, authentication requirements, evidence of exploitation) to reduce noise. Ionix then transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads for production validation, ensuring only relevant assets are tested. Results are integrated with ticketing and SIEM tools for prioritized, actionable remediation. Note: Ionix's validation is limited to externally reachable assets and may not cover internal-only deployments.

What is Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) and how does Ionix deliver it?

Preemptive Exposure Mitigation (PEM) is Ionix's strategic approach to external exposure management. Ionix discovers the full external attack surface—including unknown assets, subsidiaries, and digital supply chain dependencies—validates which exposures are actually exploitable, and mitigates them before attackers can act. The platform operates across the CTEM lifecycle (discover, validate, prioritize, mitigate, verify) at machine speed, with humans governing policy and priorities. Ionix's PEM workflow includes Live Exposure Defense (12-hour SLA from CVE publication to asset identification and validation), WAF Posture Management, and agentic mitigation for DNS hijacking and dangling-asset takeovers. Note: PEM effectiveness depends on continuous monitoring and external asset visibility; internal-only risks require complementary controls.

What is Live Exposure Defense and what does the 12-hour SLA mean?

Live Exposure Defense is an Ionix capability that commits to identifying every potentially affected asset within 12 hours of a new CVE's publication, with exploitability validation running inside the same window. This enables organizations to move from CVE disclosure to confirmed, mitigated exposure in 12 hours, reducing the window of risk. Note: The 12-hour SLA applies to externally reachable assets; internal-only assets may require additional processes.

How does Ionix prioritize and drive remediation for validated exposures?

Ionix routes validated exposure results through integrations with ticketing (Jira, ServiceNow), SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This approach shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and enables teams to act with confidence. Note: Remediation prioritization is based on external exposure context; internal prioritization may require additional input.

Platform Features & Integrations

What integrations does Ionix support for external exposure management?

Ionix integrates with Jira and ServiceNow for ticketing, Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel (and any SIEM via API), AWS services (including Control Tower, PrivateLink, SageMaker Models, AWS IQ), Cloudflare WAF, Slack (via RSS), Wiz, and Prisma Cloud.

New CVE Detected

CVE-2026-76197 – OS Command Injection / Unauthenticated RCE – Adobe Campaign Classic v7 ≤ 7.4.4 buil

Be the first to know when new zero-days emerge:

Summary

CVE-2026-76197 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 user running the application. The flaw requires no user interaction and carries the maximum CVSS v3.1 base score of 10.0, making it one of the most severe classes of vulnerability affecting internet-exposed marketing automation infrastructure. It affects only fully on-premise deployments of Adobe Campaign Classic and the on-premise components of hybrid deployments; Adobe-hosted instances have already been remediated.

Technical details

  • Root cause: Improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (CWE-78) — user-supplied input reaches a system-level command execution path without adequate sanitization, allowing injection of arbitrary shell commands.
  • Trigger conditions: No authentication or privileges are required to trigger the flaw, and no user interaction is needed.
  • Attack vector: Network — the vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network against an on-premise ACC instance.
  • Impact: Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user; the CVSS vector reflects a scope change (S:C) with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating the attacker can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component itself.
  • Adobe has stated it is not aware of any active exploitation of this issue in the wild as of the advisory’s publication.

Affected software

  • Adobe Campaign Classic (ACC) v7: build 9400 and earlier (version 7.4.4 build 9400 and earlier), on both Windows and Linux platforms
  • Applies only to fully on-premise ACC deployments and the on-premise components of hybrid deployments (Adobe-hosted/managed instances have already been remediated by Adobe and require no customer action)

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

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade all on-premise Adobe Campaign Classic v7 deployments to build 9401 (ACC v7: 7.4.4 build 9401) or later, as released by Adobe in security bulletin APSB26-134.
  • If immediate patching is not possible: Restrict network access to the Adobe Campaign Classic management/application interfaces to trusted internal networks or VPN only, and monitor for anomalous process execution or unexpected outbound connections from the ACC host as an interim compensating control until the patch can be applied.
  • Confirm that any hybrid deployment’s on-premise components are also updated, since Adobe-hosted portions of hybrid environments are already remediated but on-premise portions are not.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
