CVE-2026-71387

Unauthenticated code execution via undisclosed authorization failure

Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Adobe ColdFusion 2025 2025.0.11 and earlier and 2023 2023.0.22 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code. Adobe has not disclosed the affected component or the authorization check that accepts an unauthorized request and reaches code execution. The component is confined to an administrative network zone by default; exploitation needs no user interaction and runs code as the current ColdFusion user.
