Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that an attacker could escalate privileges and gain unauthorized access to data, potentially leading to confidentiality and integrity breaches. The restriction to an administrative zone reduces risk but does not eliminate it.
Recommendation
Apply the patches provided by the ColdFusion vendor and ensure the component is only accessible in a trusted administrative zone. Also monitor access logs.
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-2026-48320High
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.
- CVE-2026-48319Critical
ColdFusion is affected by a Path Traversal vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker with high privileges can exploit this vulnerability without user interaction. The scope is changed.
