ColdFusion is affected by an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Adobe ColdFusion 2023 (through Update 21) and ColdFusion 2025 (through Update 10) allows an authenticated attacker to inject crafted SQL and achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user without any user interaction. The flaw carries a critical 9.9 CVSS with a changed scope, meaning impact extends beyond the vulnerable component. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold low-privilege authenticated access to the ColdFusion application (CVSS PR:L), and to reach a database-backed request path that improperly neutralizes SQL special characters. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are mixed but lean toward genuine priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained a low-privilege authenticated foothold on a ColdFusion application (for example a basic application user account or a low-tier portal login) submits crafted input to a vulnerable, database-backed request. The malformed SQL is executed by the backend, and because the flaw yields arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user with a changed scope, the attacker pivots from data access to running code on the ColdFusion server. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released patch as the primary fix: upgrade ColdFusion 2023 to Update 22 or ColdFusion 2025 to Update 11, per Adobe security bulletin APSB26-82 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb26-82.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all ColdFusion 2023 (through Update 21) and ColdFusion 2025 (through Update 10) instances in production, document internet-facing deployments, and enable enhanced logging on database queries and ColdFusion authentication attempts. …
