Impact
A low-privileged local attacker can execute arbitrary code with scope change, compromising the host system. They need local access and a low-privileged account on the machine hosting ColdFusion.
Root cause
An incorrect authorization check allows low-privileged users to bypass access controls and execute code in the context of the running process.
