Impact
High-privileged adjacent attackers can execute arbitrary code in the context of the running ColdFusion process. They need existing administrative privileges and adjacent network access to reach the administrative zone.
Root cause
An incorrect authorization check allows high-privileged users to bypass restrictions and run arbitrary code.

CVSS v3.1 · CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Fix & remediation
Upgrade ColdFusion to the patched version referenced in Adobe advisory APSB26-144. In the interim, ensure ColdFusion administrative interfaces are isolated from untrusted local network segments and strictly limit administrative credentials.
AI-suggested. Run it in staging first and check it against the vendor advisory. Why?
NVD description
ColdFusion is affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker with high privileges could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerable component is restricted to an administrative network zone by default. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
