- ColdFusion versions 2025.4, 2023.16, 2021.22 and earlier are affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized read and write access. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction and scope is unchanged. (CVE-2025-61809)
- ColdFusion versions 2025.4, 2023.16, 2021.22 and earlier are affected by an Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution by a high priviledged attacker. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction and scope is changed.
