Impact
A local attacker with low-privileged access can run arbitrary code in the context of the ColdFusion service user, potentially escaping to the host system. They only need local shell or system access with no user interaction required.
Root cause
Improper authorization checks permit low-privileged accounts to invoke privileged ColdFusion operations.
