🎯 Content Summary

Overview

The research patch-diffs Adobe ColdFusion 2025 builds 2025.0.0.331385 (vulnerable) and 2025.0.0.331899 (patched/different) to analyze the fixes published in Adobe security bulletin APSB26-68 on June 30, 2026.

The bulletin covers arbitrary code execution in CVE-2026-48276, CVE-2026-48277, CVE-20...

🔧 Technical Details

Abusing an unauthenticated RDS filesystem RPC service: When ColdFusion RDS is enabled and RDS authentication/security is disabled, send HTTP POST requests to /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm?ACTION=FILEIO with Content-Type: application/octet-stream. Encode the body as a field count followed by fields containing a four-byte pad, decimal byte length, colon, and raw data. Supply an attacker-selected filesystem path and an operation such as READ, WRITE, RENAME, REMOVE, CREATE, or CF_DIRECTORY. Vulnerable handlers create Java File objects directly from attacker-controlled paths rather than rejecting traversal and canonicalizing paths before use.

Converting arbitrary file write into CFML RCE: Use a filesystem write primitive to place a .cfm file inside a ColdFusion-served document root. Include CFML such as <cfex...
