SB2013092001 - Credentials management in Adobe ColdFusion

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.

1) Credentials management (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-5290)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The authentication process in Adobe ColdFusion before 10 does not require knowledge of the cleartext password if the password hash is known, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain administrative privileges by leveraging read access to the configuration file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2861. The CVSS score reflects previously published information indicating successful exploitation allows SYSTEM access on certain operating systems.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
