critical Nessus Plugin ID 335158

Synopsis

A web-based application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe ColdFusion installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2023.x update 23 or 2025.x update 12.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB26-90 advisory.

 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2026-48362)

 - Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection') potentially leading to Arbitrary code execution (CVE-2026-48273)

 - Improper Input Validation potentially leading to Privilege escalation (CVE-2026-21273)

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

Solution

Update to Adobe ColdFusion version 2023 update 23 / 2025 update 12 or later.
