DescriptionCVE.org

ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier are affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Adobe ColdFusion 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier allows unauthenticated adjacent network attackers to execute arbitrary code via improper input validation. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and achieves scope change, enabling attackers to break out of security boundaries. CVSS 9.3 (Critical). No confirmed active exploitation or public POC identified at time of analysis, but the combination of zero authentication requirements and code execution impact makes this a high-priority patching target for ColdFusion deployments.

Technical ContextAI

Adobe ColdFusion is an enterprise application server platform for building web applications using CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language). This vulnerability stems from CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), where the application fails to properly validate, sanitize, or reject untrusted input before processing. The affected versions span both the 2023.x and 2025.x release branches, with 2023.18 and 2025.6 representing the vulnerable baseline. The CVSS vector reveals this is an adjacent network attack (AV:A), meaning the attacker must be on the same network segment as the ColdFusion server (such as corporate LAN, data center network, or compromised adjacent system), but does not require internet-wide exposure. The scope change (S:C) indicator suggests successful exploitation allows the attacker to affect resources beyond the vulnerable component's security scope, potentially impacting other applications or system resources managed by ColdFusion.

RemediationAI

Apply the security updates referenced in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-38 immediately. Consult the official advisory at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb26-38.html for exact patched versions and installation instructions specific to your ColdFusion deployment branch (2023.x or 2025.x). Adobe typically releases updates that increment beyond the vulnerable baseline versions. As a defense-in-depth measure while patching is in progress, implement network segmentation to restrict adjacent network access to ColdFusion servers, deploy web application firewall rules to inspect and validate input to ColdFusion applications, and monitor for unusual code execution patterns or unexpected network connections from ColdFusion processes. Given the no-authentication requirement, perimeter controls and input validation are critical compensating controls until patches are deployed.
