Description
The issue is related to an Improper Access Control vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to access the administration CFM and CFC endpoints, such as "/api/v1/login" or "/users/{id}", by exploiting the
username and password variables. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to bypass existing security restrictions.Recommendations
For Adobe ColdFusion versions 2018u16 (and earlier), update to a version later than 2018u16 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe ColdFusion versions 2021u6 (and earlier), update to a version later than 2021u6 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe ColdFusion versions 2023.0.0.330468 (and earlier), update to a version later than 2023.0.0.330468 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the administration CFM and CFC endpoints until a patch is available. Avoid using the
username and password variables in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.Fix
