News and Announcements
New Vulnerability Reported - Adobe Patched in March!
Today, CISA also added a critical Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability (tracked as CVE-2024-20767), which Adobe patched in March. Since then, several proof-of-concept exploits have been published online.
CVE-2024-20767 is due to an improper access control weakness that allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to read the system and other sensitive files. According to SecureLayer7, successfully exploiting ColdFusion servers with the admin panel exposed online can also allow attackers to bypass security measures and perform arbitrary file system writes.
