MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against network-reachable Adobe ColdFusion (2025 ≤2025.0.13, 2023 ≤2023.0.25) per the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector; no user interaction and no authentication are required. The practical limiting factors are: the ColdFusion instance must be reachable by the attacker (typically internet-exposed or reachable within the attack surface), and real-world impact depends on the presence of valuable internal services/endpoints the SSRF can reach (e.g., cloud metadata, internal admin APIs, credential stores) to realize the scope-changed privilege escalation. Organizations running patched builds above the listed versions are not affected. |
| Impact | This is a genuine top-priority vulnerability, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk case. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 10.0) describes remote, network-reachable exploitation with low attack complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction, plus a scope change - the maximum-severity profile. CWE-918 (SSRF) leading to stated privilege escalation and a changed scope means the attacker can pivot from the ColdFusion server to reach and affect protected internal systems/components beyond the vulnerable one. Several key real-world signals are MISSING from the input: no EPSS probability is provided, there is no CISA KEV entry supplied, and no POC/exploit-code indicator is present - so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' and cannot be upgraded. Caveat worth noting: Adobe ColdFusion has a strong historical pattern of pre-auth flaws being rapidly weaponized and added to KEV after disclosure, so absence of KEV/EPSS here likely reflects the recency of this Adobe PSIRT advisory rather than low real risk - treat the 10.0 as credible and patch urgently. The CVSS vector and description are internally consistent (network SSRF, no auth), so there is no conflicting-signal problem to flag. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to an internet-reachable ColdFusion server that causes the server to issue attacker-controlled outbound requests (SSRF), reaching internal metadata/credential endpoints or trusted internal services the attacker could not otherwise contact. Because scope is changed, the attacker leverages the server's trusted position to escalate privileges and compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of internal resources. No public exploit is identified in the provided data, and the AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector means no special access or victim interaction is needed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Adobe ColdFusion 2025 (up to and including 2025.0.13) and ColdFusion 2023 (up to and including 2023.0.25) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause the server to make arbitrary requests, resulting in privilege escalation with the scope changed. This critical vulnerability has a CVSS score of 10.0 and requires no user interaction. No public exploit has been identified at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Adobe has released a security advisory (APSB26-144) with patches; apply the latest ColdFusion 2025 or 2023 updates that fix the vulnerability. Upgrade beyond version 2025.0.13 for ColdFusion 2025 or beyond 2023.0.25 for ColdFusion 2023. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the ColdFusion administrator interface and any exposed endpoints, enforce strict egress filtering to block server-initiated requests to internal IP ranges and cloud metadata services (e.g., 169.254.169.254), and disable unnecessary ColdFusion features that allow outbound HTTP requests. These mitigations may impact legitimate functionality and should be tested. Monitor outbound connections for anomalies. Refer to the Adobe advisory at https://www.adobe.com/trust/security/products/coldfusion/apsb26-144.html for exact fixed versions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) classified as CWE-918, affecting Adobe ColdFusion, a Java-based application server. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates that exploitation is network-accessible, low-complexity, unauthenticated, and requires no user interaction, with a scope change (S:C). This means the attacker can leverage the ColdFusion server to send crafted requests to internal or external resources that are normally unreachable, potentially leading to privilege escalation by interacting with internal services, cloud metadata endpoints, or administrative APIs. The affected versions are ColdFusion 2025 0 ≤2025.0.13 and ColdFusion 2023 0 ≤2023.0.25, as detailed in Adobe's advisory APSB26-144. No CPE strings were provided in the input data.

DescriptionCVE.org
ColdFusion is affected by a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that could result in privilege escalation. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
Executive ViewAI
Adobe ColdFusion 2025 and 2023 deployments are exposed to a critical server-side request forgery flaw that can let attackers force the server to make arbitrary requests and escalate privileges, potentially reaching internal systems and sensitive data. Because the issue affects broadly deployed application server versions and carries a maximum CVSS score of 10.0, leadership should treat it as a material risk to any internet-facing or internally reachable ColdFusion instance. No public exploit has been identified at the time of analysis, but the lack of a vendor patch raises the urgency for immediate containment and compensating controls.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include restricting outbound network access via egress allowlisting, segmenting ColdFusion servers from sensitive internal networks, deploying WAF or virtual patching rules to block SSRF patterns, enforcing least privilege for the ColdFusion service account, disabling unused modules and integrations, and monitoring logs for anomalous outbound requests.
