Application slowdown via undisclosed resource exhaustion
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Adobe ColdFusion 2023.18 and 2025.6 and earlier allows attackers to slow the application. Adobe has not disclosed the affected component, the resource consumed, or the operation that permits attacker-controlled exhaustion. Exploitation requires high privileges and adjacent-network access but no user interaction, and the documented consequence is reduced application speed rather than a confirmed crash.

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.
