Adobe ColdFusion 2016.x < 2016u17 / 2018.x < 2018u11 / 2021.x < 2021u1 Improper Input Validation RCE (APSB21-16)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 148039

Language:

Synopsis

A web-based application running on the remote host is affected by an input validation vulnerability.

Description

The version of Adobe ColdFusion installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2016.x update 17, 2018.x update 11, or 2021.x update 1. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified input validation vulnerability as referenced in the APSB21-16 advisory that could allow remote arbitrary code execution.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Also note that to be fully protected the Java JDK must be patched along with applying the vendor patch.

Solution

Update to Adobe ColdFusion version 2016 update 17 / 2018 update 11 / 2021 update 1 or later.
