CVE-2020-10145: Adobe ColdFusion

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Adobe ColdFusion installer fails to set a secure access-control list (ACL) on the default installation directory, such as C:\ColdFusion2021\. By default, unprivileged users can create files in this directory structure, which creates a privilege-escalation vulnerability.

Affected products

• Adobe ColdFusion: version 2016 only; version 2018 only; version 2021 only
