Worst Case
Local attacker gains access to sensitive configuration data, credentials, or encryption keys that could lead to full system compromise or privilege escalation.
Likely Case
Local user accesses sensitive information that could be used to bypass security controls or facilitate lateral movement within the environment.
If Mitigated
With proper access controls and monitoring, impact is limited to information disclosure without escalation to full system compromise.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires local access but no user interaction. The vulnerability is straightforward to exploit once local access is obtained.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: ColdFusion 2023.13, 2021.19, 2025.1
Vendor Advisory: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/coldfusion/apsb25-15.html

🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict Local Access
allLimit local access to ColdFusion servers to only authorized administrators
Implement Least Privilege
allEnsure all local user accounts have minimal necessary privileges
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls to limit who has local access to ColdFusion servers
- Monitor for unusual local access patterns and file access attempts on ColdFusion systems
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check ColdFusion version via Administrator console or cfusion/lib/version.txt fileCheck Version:
On Windows: type "C:\ColdFusion\cfusion\lib\version.txt" | On Linux: cat /opt/coldfusion/cfusion/lib/version.txtVerify Fix Applied:
Verify ColdFusion version is 2023.13, 2021.19, or 2025.1 or later📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual local user access to ColdFusion directories
- Access to sensitive configuration files by non-admin users
Network Indicators:
- N/A - This is a local vulnerability
SIEM Query:
source="coldfusion" AND (event_type="file_access" OR event_type="directory_access") AND user!="admin" AND (path="*cfusion*" OR path="*config*" OR path="*sensitive*")
