AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable code injection with low complexity and no user interaction; requires a low-privileged authenticated session (PR:L), and code execution escaping the app context justifies scope change with full C/I/A impact.

ColdFusion is affected by an Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
AnalysisAI
Code injection (CWE-94) in Adobe ColdFusion 2023 (Update 21 and earlier) and ColdFusion 2025 (Update 10 and earlier) allows a low-privileged, network-adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user without any user interaction. Because the CVSS scope is changed, successful exploitation can extend impact beyond the vulnerable component to the underlying host. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to an affected ColdFusion 2023 (≤Update 21) or 2025 (≤Update 10) instance plus a low-privileged authenticated foothold (CVSS PR:L) - it is NOT unauthenticated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed and should be weighed together. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained a low-privileged authenticated session to a ColdFusion 2023/2025 server sends a crafted request containing injected code that the engine improperly evaluates, achieving arbitrary code execution as the ColdFusion service user. Thanks to the changed scope, the attacker can then pivot from the application context to the underlying host. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: apply Adobe ColdFusion 2023 Update 22 or ColdFusion 2025 Update 11 as documented in Adobe APSB26-82 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb26-82.html); this is the primary and definitive fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all ColdFusion deployments and confirm which systems run version 2023 Update 21 or earlier, or version 2025 Update 10 or earlier. …
