Sandbox escape via disguised precompiled CFML bytecode
Published Apr 8, 2025 · Updated Apr 14, 2025
Sandbox bypass in Lucee Server before 5.4.7.3 LTS and 6 before 6.1.1.118 allows local users to execute restricted code. The compiler accepts precompiled Java bytecode renamed with a .cfm or .cfc extension and executes it without applying normal CFML restrictions. Exploitation requires server-side file placement and principally threatens shared-hosting tenants by exposing code and resources outside their web-context restrictions.

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=0 <5.4.7.3 LTS
- Affected versionversion=6 <6.1.1.118
