Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
ColdFusion versions 2023.19, 2025.8 and earlier are affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could be abused by a low-privileged attacker to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable form fields. Malicious JavaScript may be executed in a victim's browser when they browse to the page containing the vulnerable field. Scope is changed.
AnalysisAI
Stored XSS in Adobe ColdFusion (2023.x through 2023.19 and 2025.x through 2025.8) enables a low-privileged attacker on an adjacent network to inject persistent malicious JavaScript into vulnerable form fields. When a victim user browses to the page containing the stored payload, the script executes in their browser context, with scope change indicating impact can extend beyond the immediate ColdFusion application - such as session hijacking or unauthorized browser-side actions. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS data was not provided in source intelligence.
Technical ContextAI
Adobe ColdFusion is a commercial application server and rapid web development platform widely used in enterprise environments. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Cross-site Scripting), specifically the stored/persistent variant, meaning attacker-supplied input is written to the server's data store without adequate sanitization and later rendered back into HTML responses served to other users. The CVSS attack vector AV:A (Adjacent Network) is technically significant: exploitation is constrained to attackers who share a network segment with the ColdFusion server, ruling out arbitrary internet-sourced attacks without prior network access. The changed scope indicator (S:C) reflects that injected scripts execute within the victim's browser - a security boundary distinct from the ColdFusion server itself - enabling cross-context impact such as cookie theft or DOM manipulation. No CPE strings were supplied in source data; affected products are identified from the CVE description and Adobe PSIRT advisory APSB26-64.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Adobe ColdFusion to a version beyond 2023.19 on the 2023 track or beyond 2025.8 on the 2025 track, per Adobe security bulletin APSB26-64 at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb26-64.html. The exact patched version numbers are not explicitly stated in the provided source data - consult the advisory directly for confirmed fix versions before upgrading. Where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict access to ColdFusion form-accepting endpoints to trusted network segments, which aligns with the adjacent-network attack vector constraint and reduces exposure surface. Deploying a Web Application Firewall with XSS-specific filtering rules can reduce injection success rates, though WAF rules may produce false positives on legitimate rich-text input and require tuning. Implementing a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) header on ColdFusion-served pages can limit the execution scope of any injected scripts by blocking inline script execution or restricting permitted script sources; note this may require application-level changes to existing inline JavaScript.
