CISA KEV Advisory
Adobe ColdFusion Deserialization of Untrusted Data Vulnerability
Adobe ColdFusion contains a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that allows for remote code execution.
Apply updates per vendor instructions.
Risk Analysis
Adobe ColdFusion contains a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that allows for remote code execution. The high EPSS score of 0.94330 indicates a very high likelihood of exploitation, making this a critical issue. This vulnerability is confirmed as exploited by CISA.
This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is included in CISA's KEV catalog. The deserialization of untrusted data leading to remote code execution implies it is remotely exploitable.
Apply the latest security patches for Adobe ColdFusion immediately. Implement strict input validation and ensure that deserialization of untrusted data is prevented in applications.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-26360 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2023-26360 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
