The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 8. 4 and involves a change in scope.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-47931 is an Improper Input Validation vulnerability affecting Adobe ColdFusion versions 2023.19, 2025.8, and earlier. The vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation does not require user interaction, and the scope of the vulnerability is changed, indicating that the impact extends beyond the initially affected component. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires adjacent network access (AV:A), low attack complexity (AC:L), high privileges (PR:H), no user interaction (UI:N), and results in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (C:H/I:H/A:H). No official patch or remediation level has been confirmed yet.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and has a changed scope, increasing its potential impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or temporary mitigation has been published, users should monitor Adobe's security advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, limit exposure by restricting network access to trusted users and applying principle of least privilege to ColdFusion service accounts.
