AI Analysis

Impact

ColdFusion is vulnerable to improper input validation that allows a low‑privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. The flaw can be triggered without user interaction, meaning a remote attacker can send crafted requests directly to the server to exploit the vulnerability.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Adobe ColdFusion 2023 and Adobe ColdFusion 2025. Specific version numbers are not provided, so all installed instances are potentially susceptible until patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 classifies this as a high‑severity vulnerability. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates that exploitation is unlikely but not impossible. Based on the description that user interaction is not required, it is inferred that the vulnerability can be triggered remotely from both external and internal networks, leading to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Adobe ColdFusion security patch referenced in the APSB26‑144 advisory, ensuring the update includes the fix for the identified improper input validation flaw.
  • Enforce comprehensive server‑side input validation in line with CWE‑20 guidelines; implement strict whitelisting, length checks, and format verification for all user‑supplied data.
  • Limit access to the ColdFusion server to trusted IP addresses or through VPN only, reducing the attack surface for potential exploitation.
  • Monitor application and server logs for anomalous request patterns that may indicate attempts to inject malformed input, and investigate suspicious activity promptly.
