ColdFusion is affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploit depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe ColdFusion 2023 and 2025 enables unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the ColdFusion server process. The vulnerability requires high-complexity exploitation conditions outside the attacker's direct control, yielding a CVSS score of 8.1 rather than critical, but the triple-high impact (full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise) makes it a high-priority target. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required (PR:N per CVSS vector) and no victim interaction is needed (UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.1 score captures a meaningful internal tension: AV:N with PR:N and UI:N means any internet-exposed ColdFusion 2023 or 2025 endpoint is theoretically within reach without credentials or victim interaction, yet AC:H reflects that exploitation success depends on conditions the attacker cannot directly engineer - most likely a race condition, specific heap layout, or timing-dependent memory state. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the patched builds documented in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-90 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb26-90.html) as the primary remediation; the bulletin is the authoritative source for exact fix build numbers for both ColdFusion 2023 and 2025, as specific patched versions were not included in available intelligence. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all ColdFusion 2023 and 2025 instances across the organization, classify by internet exposure and business criticality, and restrict administrative access pending remediation. …
