Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU42544
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2010-5290
CWE-ID:
CWE-255 - Credentials Management
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsColdFusion: 9.0 - 9.0.1
