Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.36% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Adobe ColdFusion 2025 and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: No default targetRemediation target: Normal maintenance

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

No EUVD known-exploited evidence

ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. A high-privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability and exhaust system resources, reducing application speed. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

01

What, why and how

ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. A high-privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability and exhaust system resources, reducing application speed. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

What

ColdFusion versions 2023.18, 2025.6 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. A high-privileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability and exhaust system resources, reducing application speed. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

Why

The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.

How

An attacker operating through an adjacent network may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
an adjacent network → Uncontrolled Resource Consumption → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Weakness

CWE-400 ↗

CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption. The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.
