Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. A high-privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability and exhaust system resources, reducing application speed. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
AnalysisAI
ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6, and earlier are vulnerable to uncontrolled resource consumption that allows high-privileged attackers to trigger application denial-of-service by exhausting system resources without user interaction. This is a low-severity issue (CVSS 2.4) affecting only authenticated administrators, with no public exploit code or active exploitation reported.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper handling of resource allocation (CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), a common weakness in server applications where insufficient limits on CPU, memory, or I/O operations allow privileged users to degrade performance. In ColdFusion, this likely relates to request processing, template compilation, or session management where resource throttling is inadequate. The affected CPE scope includes Adobe ColdFusion 2023 update 18 and ColdFusion 2025 update 6 or earlier versions. The requirement for high-privilege access (PR:H in CVSS vector) indicates the attacker must already possess administrative credentials or similar elevated permissions within the ColdFusion environment.
RemediationAI
Upgrade ColdFusion 2023 to update 19 or later, or upgrade ColdFusion 2025 to update 7 or later to resolve this vulnerability. Organizations unable to patch immediately should restrict administrative access to ColdFusion management interfaces to trusted personnel only and monitor resource utilization for anomalous consumption patterns.
