Elevated risk63th percentile - higher than 63% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in ColdFusion versions 2025.9, 2023.20 and earlier is caused by improper input validation, potentially leading to remote arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation does not require user interaction and the scope is changed.
Risk Assessment
The risk for the organization includes the possibility of an attacker gaining control over the system without user interaction, which could lead to data theft, malware installation, or further propagation of the attack within the network.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update ColdFusion to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability. Additionally, restrict access to the ColdFusion server to trusted networks only and apply WAF rules to block suspicious requests.
Other vulnerabilities in ColdFusion
See all- CVE-2026-76002Medium
ColdFusion is affected by a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. If an attacker is able to convince a victim to visit a URL referencing a vulnerable page, malicious JavaScript content may be executed within the context of the victim's browser. Scope is changed.
- CVE-2026-76000Medium
ColdFusion is affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust system resources, resulting in an application denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
- CVE-2026-83961High
ColdFusion is affected by an Improper Authentication vulnerability that could result in privilege escalation. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain limited read and write access. The vulnerable component is restricted to an administrative network zone by default. Exploitation does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
- 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.
