Language:

Synopsis

A web-based application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe ColdFusion installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2016.x update 16 or 2018.x prior to update 10. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB20-43 advisory. These vulnerabilities both involve dll search-order hijacking, and successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to Adobe ColdFusion version 2016 update 16 / 2018 update 10 or later.
