AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-75998 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in Adobe ColdFusion 2025 that enables an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the server's file system. The flaw allows access to sensitive files and directories beyond the intended permissions. Exploitation does not require any user interaction, increasing the risk of automated or remote attacks. No official patch or remediation guidance has been published by Adobe as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in files and directories accessible by the ColdFusion server.
