CVE-2025-54234Network attack vector

Authenticated file read via arbitrary URL injection

Published Aug 18, 2025 · Updated Oct 1, 2025

SSRF in Adobe ColdFusion 2025.1, 2023.13, and 2021.19 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read limited local files. Adobe identifies arbitrary URL injection as the request vector but has not disclosed the affected function, parameter, or missing validation operation. An authenticated account and a crafted arbitrary URL are required; no user interaction is needed, and the reported consequence is limited file disclosure.
