Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Remote unauthenticated attacker against Adobe ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This vulnerability presents significant real-world risk for internet-facing ColdFusion deployments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated remote attacker identifies a publicly accessible ColdFusion application server and crafts HTTP requests containing path traversal sequences (such as ../../../../etc/passwd or ..\..\..\..\windows\system32\config\sam) in vulnerable parameters. The ColdFusion application processes these malicious paths without proper validation, allowing the attacker to read arbitrary files within the permissions scope of the ColdFusion process. … |
| Remediation | Apply the security updates provided in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-38 immediately, prioritizing internet-facing ColdFusion installations. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify and inventory all ColdFusion 2023.18 and 2025.6 instances; restrict network access to ColdFusion administration and application ports using firewall rules or WAF policies; implement request filtering to block path traversal patterns (../, ..\ sequences). …
