MacromediaCVEs & Vulnerabilities

ColdFusion 4.5 and 5, when running on Windows with the advanced security sandbox type set to "operating system," does not properly pass security context to (1) child processes created with <CFEXECUTE> and (2) child processes that call the CreateProcess function and are executed with <CFOBJECT> or end with the CFX extension, which allows attackers to execute programs with the permissions of the System account.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Macromedia JRun Web Server (JWS) 2.3.3, 3.0 and 3.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the HTTP GET request.

Macromedia JRun 3.0 and 3.1 appends the jsessionid to URL requests (a.k.a. rewriting) when client browsers have cookies enabled, which allows remote attackers to obtain session IDs and hijack sessions via HTTP referrer fields or sniffing.

SSIFilter in Allaire JRun 3.1, 3.0 and 2.3.3 allows remote attackers to obtain source code for Java server pages (.jsp) and other files in the web root via an HTTP request for a non-existent SSI page, in which the request's body has an #include statement.

Example applications (Exampleapps) in ColdFusion Server 4.x do not properly restrict prevent access from outside the local host's domain, which allows remote attackers to conduct upload, read, or execute files by spoofing the "HTTP Host" (CGI.Host) variable in (1) the "Web Publish" example script, and (2) the "Email" example script.

Unknown vulnerability in ColdFusion Server 2.0 through 4.5.1 SP2 allows remote attackers to overwrite templates with zero byte files via unknown attack vectors.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Allaire JRun 3.0 and 2.3.3 allows a malicious webmaster to embed Javascript in a request for a .JSP, .shtml, .jsp10, .jrun, or .thtml file that does not exist, which causes the Javascript to be inserted into an error message.

Allaire JRun 3.0 allows remote attackers to list contents of the WEB-INF directory, and the web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory, via a malformed URL that contains a "."

Macromedia Shockwave Flash plugin version 8 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed tag length specifiers in a SWF file.

Allaire JRun 3.0 http servlet server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a URL that contains a long string of "." characters.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Allaire JRun 2.3 server allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the SSIFilter servlet.

Allaire JRun 2.3 server allows remote attackers to obtain source code for executable content by directly calling the SSIFilter servlet.

Allaire JRun 2.3.3 server allows remote attackers to compile and execute JSP code by inserting it via a cross-site scripting (CSS) attack and directly calling the com.livesoftware.jrun.plugins.JSP JSP servlet.

Allaire JRun 3.0 http servlet server allows remote attackers to directly access the WEB-INF directory via a URL request that contains an extra "/" in the beginning of the request (aka the "extra leading slash").

Servlet examples in Allaire JRun 2.3.x allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, e.g. listing HttpSession ID's via the SessionServlet servlet.

JSP sample files in Allaire JRun 2.3.x allow remote attackers to access arbitrary files (e.g. via viewsource.jsp) or obtain configuration information.

Macromedia "The Matrix" screen saver on Windows 95 with the "Password protected" option enabled allows attackers with physical access to the machine to bypass the password prompt by pressing the ESC (Escape) key.

Auto-update feature of Macromedia Shockwave 7 transmits a user's password and hard disk information back to Macromedia.

Macromedia Dreamweaver uses weak encryption to store FTP passwords, which could allow local users to easily decrypt the passwords of other users.

Macromedia Shockwave before 6.0 allows a malicious webmaster to read a user's mail box and possibly access internal web servers via the GetNextText command on a Shockwave movie.
