Summary
A Path Traversal vulnerability in ColdFusion versions 2025.9, 2023.20 and earlier allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user without requiring user interaction. The issue stems from improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can take control of the ColdFusion server by executing malicious code, leading to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and systems.
Recommendation
Immediately update ColdFusion to version 2025.10 or later (for the 2025 line) and 2023.21 or later (for the 2023 line). If patching is not possible, apply temporary workarounds recommended by Adobe.

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.
Original NVD description (English source)
ColdFusion versions 2025.9, 2023.20 and earlier are affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
