CVE-2025-64898Network attack vector

Unauthenticated limited writes through mishandled credentials

Published Dec 9, 2025 · Updated Jun 23, 2026

Insufficiently protected credentials in Adobe ColdFusion 2025.4, 2023.16, and 2021.22 and earlier allow remote attackers limited writes. Adobe has not disclosed which credential store or transport is exposed, how the credentials are protected, or which request consumes them. No authentication or user interaction is required, and exploitation provides limited unauthorized write access rather than read access or code execution.
