Adobe ColdFusion 2018.x < 2018 Update 14 / 2021.x < 2021 Update 4 XSS (APSB22-22)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 161166

Language:

Synopsis

A web-based application running on the remote host is missing a vendor-supplied patch.

Description

The version of Adobe ColdFusion installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2018.x update 14 or 2021.x update 4. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

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

Solution

Update to Adobe ColdFusion version 2018 update 14 / 2021 update 4 or later.
