Overview

ColdFusion versions 2023.12, 2021.18, 2025.0 and earlier are affected by an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. This vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution by an attacker, and notably, exploitation does not require user interaction (NVD, CVE).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command). It has received a Critical CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 from NIST (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), while Adobe Systems assigned it a High severity score of 8.0 (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) (NVD).
