CVE-2024-34113: 
Adobe ColdFusion 2021 vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A Weak Cryptography for Passwords vulnerability (CVE-2024-34113) was identified in Adobe ColdFusion versions 2023u7, 2021u13 and earlier. The vulnerability was discovered by Ian Hickey and officially disclosed on June 13, 2024. This security issue affects the password cryptographic implementation in Adobe ColdFusion, potentially allowing security feature bypass (NVD).

The vulnerability stems from the implementation of insufficiently strong cryptographic algorithms or flawed implementation that compromises password data confidentiality. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N. It is classified under CWE-326 (Inadequate Encryption Strength) and CWE-261 (Weak Encoding for Password) (NVD).

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to decrypt or guess passwords, potentially gaining unauthorized access to protected resources. The impact is particularly significant as it affects the confidentiality of password data and could result in a security feature bypass. No user interaction is required for exploitation (NVD).

Adobe has released security updates to address this vulnerability. Users of affected versions should upgrade to the latest version of ColdFusion as detailed in the security advisory (Adobe Advisory).
