8.8High

Attack vector: Local
Complexity: Low
Privileges needed: Low
User interaction: None
Impact: Full C/I/A compromise
Weakness: CWE-863

Impact

A low-privileged local attacker can execute arbitrary code with scope change to breach boundaries in the context of the running ColdFusion user. Exploitation requires local system access with an existing account but no user interaction.

Root cause

ColdFusion fails to enforce proper authorization checks (CWE-863), allowing low-privileged users to trigger unauthorized actions.
