CVE-2026-105901 Adobe CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for ColdFusion installations, particularly those using versions 2025 and 2023, should assess exposure and prioritize patching. This includes reviewing and updating affected versions to the latest patched versions and monitoring for potential exploitation attempts. Security teams and vulnerability management teams should also be aware of the potential impact and take necessary actions to mitigate the vulnerability.

Why it matters

Defenders should prioritize patching ColdFusion 2025 and 2023 due to an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution.

• Potential arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user
• Possible exploitation by low-privileged attackers
• Scope change due to successful exploitation

Technical summary

ColdFusion 2025 and 2023 are affected by an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. A low-privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction, and the scope changes upon successful exploitation. Defenders should prioritize verifying and applying patches for ColdFusion 2025 and 2023, as this vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying and applying patches for ColdFusion 2025 and 2023, as an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify and apply patches for ColdFusion 2025 and 2023
• Review and update affected versions to the latest patched versions
• Monitor for potential exploitation attempts
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
