Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2026-48282 is identified as a path traversal vulnerability affecting Adobe ColdFusion versions 2025.9, 2023.20, and earlier releases. This flaw, categorized as an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (CWE-22), allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of CVE-2026-48282 does not require user interaction or any specific privileges, making it accessible over a network by sending crafted HTTP requests to a ColdFusion endpoint. Attackers can manipulate file system paths using traversal sequences to access or write files outside of the intended restricted directory, which can then be chained to achieve arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability has been observed under active exploitation shortly after its public disclosure.

Description: ColdFusion versions 2025.9, 2023.20 and earlier are affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
