Remote code execution via ODBC Agent heap overflow
Published Oct 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe ColdFusion 2018 Update 14 and 2021 Update 4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Adobe identifies the ODBC Agent as the affected component but has not disclosed the packet field or unsafe memory operation that corrupts the heap. An unauthenticated crafted network packet triggers the flaw without user interaction, and successful exploitation runs code as the ColdFusion process user.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <=CF2018u14
