CVE-2025-24446Network attack vector

Privileged arbitrary file read via undisclosed input validation

Published Apr 8, 2025 · Updated Apr 18, 2025

Improper input validation in Adobe ColdFusion through 2025.0 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files. Adobe's bulletin does not identify the affected request, parameter, or validation operation, so the input-validation mechanism is undisclosed. Administrative privileges and network access are required; successful exploitation exposes files readable by the ColdFusion service.
