Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
ColdFusion versions 2023.9, 2021.15 and earlier are affected by a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing crafted input to the application, which when deserialized, leads to execution of malicious code. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
AnalysisAI
ColdFusion versions 2023.9, 2021.15 and earlier are affected by a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502), which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through malicious serialized objects. ColdFusion versions 2023.9, 2021.15 and earlier are affected by a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing crafted input to the application, which when deserialized, leads to execution of malicious code. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Affected products include: Adobe Coldfusion.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Avoid deserializing untrusted data. Use safe serialization formats (JSON). Implement integrity checks and type allowlists.
