Actively exploited in the wild
Adobe ColdFusion Improper Access Control Vulnerability
Adobe - ColdFusion · Listed in the CISA KEV since 2024-12-16. This indicates confirmed attacks in production environments.
Required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
CVE-2024-20767
HighCVSS 7.4KEVSummary
An Improper Access Control vulnerability in ColdFusion versions 2023.6, 2021.12 and earlier allows arbitrary file system read. An attacker could access or modify restricted files without user interaction, but exploitation requires the admin panel to be exposed to the internet.
Risk Assessment
If the ColdFusion admin panel is publicly accessible, an attacker could read or modify critical system files, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality and integrity.
Recommendation
Restrict access to the ColdFusion admin panel to trusted networks only and update to a patched version as soon as possible.
Other vulnerabilities in ColdFusion
See all- CVE-2026-75746Critical
ColdFusion is affected by an SQL Injection vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker with high privileges could exploit this to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation does not require user interaction and the scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-48273Critical
ColdFusion is affected by an Eval Injection vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. A low-privileged attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation does not require user interaction and the scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-71386High
Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ColdFusion that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Requires user interaction (opening a malicious file). Scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-48362Critical
An OS command injection vulnerability in ColdFusion allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires no user interaction, and the scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-48327Critical
An incorrect authorization vulnerability in ColdFusion allows remote arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user without requiring user interaction. This leads to privilege escalation and a changed security scope.
- CVE-2026-48325Critical
ColdFusion is affected by a Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation does not require user interaction and the scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-48324Critical
ColdFusion is affected by an SQL Injection vulnerability due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command. This flaw could allow an attacker with high privileges to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user without user interaction.
- CVE-2026-48322Critical
ColdFusion is affected by an Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. A low-privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation does not require user interaction and the scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-48321Critical
ColdFusion is affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could result in privilege escalation. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain unauthorized read and write access. The vulnerable component is restricted to an administrative network zone by default. Exploitation does not require user interaction and the scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-48320High
ColdFusion is affected by a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into a web page, potentially gaining elevated access or control over the victim's account or session. The vulnerable component is restricted to an administrative network zone by default. Exploitation requires user interaction and the scope is changed.
