CVE-2024-20767Adobe ColdFusion — access control gap reaches restricted files

ColdFusion 2023.6, 2021.12 and earlier do not enforce access control properly, so an attacker who can reach the administration panel reads and changes files that should be out of reach.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply Adobe bulletin APSB24-14 now and take the administration panel off the internet; exploitation probability is near certain.
