Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability
Adobe ColdFusion authentication bypass vulnerability allowing unauthorized administrative access. Exploited in the wild.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
An authentication bypass in ColdFusion permits unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative privileges, enabling full system compromise. Active exploitation in the wild increases risk.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
8 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2022-03-07).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.93797 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: Adobe, ColdFusion. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-255 CWE-255 — weakness family: Authentication.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I bypass authentication controls to access the ColdFusion administrative interface without valid credentials.
Business
Attackers obtain unrestricted administrative access to the application server, enabling data theft, malware deployment, and lateral movement.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I modify application configurations, user accounts, and data sources through the compromised admin panel.
Business
Business operations are disrupted through unauthorized system changes, data manipulation, or service degradation.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I execute arbitrary code or deploy backdoors to maintain persistent access to the infrastructure.
Business
Long-term compromise enables ongoing data exfiltration, intellectual property theft, and compliance violations.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
