Description

ColdFusion versions 2023.19, 2025.8 and earlier are affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerable component is restricted to an administrative network zone by default. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. Scope is changed.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-47932 is a path traversal vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion that improperly limits pathname access to restricted directories. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user if a victim opens a crafted malicious file. The affected versions are ColdFusion 2023.0.0 through 2023.19 and 2025.0.0 through 2025.8. The vulnerable component is typically confined to an administrative network zone, which may limit exposure. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, indicating high severity, with attack vector requiring adjacent network access, low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction is necessary. The scope of the impact is changed, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a high level.

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. Since the vulnerable component is restricted to an administrative network zone, the exposure is somewhat limited. However, the requirement for user interaction (opening a malicious file) means social engineering is necessary for exploitation.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the administrative network zone and educate users to avoid opening untrusted files. Monitor for updates from Adobe regarding patches or official mitigations.
