Adobe ColdFusion vulnerability
Adobe ColdFusion contains an unspecified information disclosure vulnerability that could expose sensitive data from compromised servers.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
This vulnerability allows attackers to extract confidential information from affected ColdFusion instances. The high EPSS score and confirmed wild exploitation indicate active abuse. Information disclosure from web application servers can expose credentials, configuration data, and business-critical

Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
3 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2022-03-07).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.66413 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) · Affected: Adobe, ColdFusion. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.CVSS — CISA-assigned via the ADP container (CVE.org), version 3.1; the CNA left no metrics, so CISA's own score is used ahead of NVD.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-200 Information Exposure — weakness family: Authorization / access control.CWE assignment from the public NVD record (may be stale); the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
CISA SSVC (triage disposition)
Exploitation: active · Automatable: yes · Technical Impact: partialCISA's own stakeholder-specific triage inputs, published in the CVE record (CISA Coordinator role). NOTE: this is CISA's three decision points; the final Act/Attend/Track decision also requires a Mission & Well-being input not published here, so no overall decision is asserted.
Currency of the record
CISA added this to its KEV catalog 3344 days after the CVE record was published.KEV lag = CISA-KEV dateAdded − CVE.org datePublished; a floor on how long the known-exploited flaw sat in the public record before the federal catalog listed it. Severity/weakness here is CNA- or CISA-assigned (current at disclosure), independent of NVD's analysis backlog.

Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I exploit the unspecified vulnerability in ColdFusion to read sensitive files or memory from the target server.
Business
Confidential application data, database credentials, or API keys are exposed to the attacker.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I use the disclosed information to pivot to other systems or escalate my access within the compromised environment.
Business
The initial breach becomes a foothold for lateral movement and deeper compromise of the infrastructure.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I extract customer data, intellectual property, or operational secrets accessible through the compromised application.
Business
Regulatory violations, reputational damage, and potential liability from data breach notification requirements.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
