Local privilege escalation
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026
Incorrect authorization in Adobe ColdFusion 2023.0.22 and earlier and 2025.0.11 and earlier allows local users to escalate privileges. Adobe has not disclosed the affected component or the authorization check that incorrectly permits access to protected operations.
